Steven Bradford has been sounding out the edges of new media boundaries since graduating with a traditional degree in film production from the University of Southern California. In the mid 1980s he produced touch screen video sequences for a pioneering e-commerce technology company and invented a system for mass producing personalized home videos starring a Mattel toy character. Since then he has produced videodiscs for NASA, filmed video game sequences for Northrop and Sierra Online; taped neurosurgery, the rock band KISS, and the Space Shuttle in 3D; shot one extremely low budget 35mm feature—along with way way too many talking heads and close-ups of computer screens. From 2004 through 2007 Steven was the director of the School of Film and Visual Effects at Collins College in Phoenix, AZ, and now teaches at Seattle Film Institute. He currently spends his time forgetting obsolete technologies (linotype, punchcards, quad tape operator) so he can learn more (CMS websites, web video).

Fresh out of the Seattle Film Institute, Bennett Appleseth is a young ambitious filmmaker and editor. Referenced to us by Steven Bradford, he has been happily working for Sierra-Media since January 2011. He hopes to one day write, direct, and edit his own feature length film.  When not working he loves to work on his 1984 vw rabbit and he is also very involeved in the European car community.

After serving eight years on active duty in the United States Marine Corps as an infantry squad leader Dustin McMullen jumped into the civilian world with both feet running. He will soon graduate from Trinity Lutheran College with a BA in communications. He has a passion for learning new, innovative ways of telling stories that reach all types of audiences. This allows him to be a creative thinker, whether through idea development, storyboarding, directing, or editing. His long term goal is to become a creative director in the film production industry.

Travis Erdmann has immersed himself in the world of film and video since high school. He studied film at Columbia College Chicago and recently graduated from the Seattle Film Institute.  His aspirations are to one-day work in L.A. He lives by the saying “If you find a job you love, you’ll never work another day”. He strives for creativity, quality and originality in his work. When he’s not sitting at a computer, he spends his time either playing guitar or snowboarding.

About to finish up his Web Development program at Edmonds Community College, Jeremy comes to Sierra Media with a diverse educational and work background.  He also holds a BA in English – Creative Writing Emphasis from Western Washington University in Bellingham, WA and served six years in the Navy as an electronics technician.  His writing and electronics experiences might prove to be extra assets to Sierra Media.  When not busy with work and studying, Jeremy enjoys writing and a multitude of outdoor activities.
