When Songwriter/Composer Keith Burgun isn't writing music, he's playing video games or eating delicious snacks. Sometimes he is doing both at the same time (preferred). He attended Purchase College for a whole bunch of years, probably at least six of them (years). He now is a music and visual arts teacher, living in Westchester, NY, and playing with his band, Dinosaur Lightning. Check out his website, www.dinosaurlightning.com (awesome).

Joe Rye
Camera/Lighting ("Proms Away")
Joe is one half of the duo The Brothers Rye.
Separated at birth, The Brothers Rye reunited a score and some years later to find their lives had taken similar and unremarkable paths. Both champions for mediocrity, they decided to write one and one-half not-especially good feature screenplays, Lucid and Kill me a Murder. They succeeded.
In 2004, Curt won 3rd place in a contest for a 92.5 The River commercial in Boston (note: with no help from Chad Gordon). That accomplished, he moved on to shooting various video productions with his brother, Joe, including an infomercial for an adult internet website. In their tradition of being less than impressive they wrote, shot and edited in 24 hours the short film, Glue, for which they won third place and (accidentally) best direction at the NYC Midnight Run competition. They followed that with the short screenplays Stray Babies and Walking Still which garnered them the moderate third runner-up award at the NYC Midnight Run 24 Screenplay Competition. To their utter surprise and delight the Beastie Boys hand picked the Brothers Rye's "Shake Your Rump" music video as the winner of the No Sleep Till Sundance Contest. Currently, The Brothers Rye are looking into the next contest they can enter.
