Harlo Bray [Co-Director] Harlo
is an artist, videographer, professional civil engineer, and a singer-songwriter
in the band Pispoure. He
graduated from SUNY Canton with a degree in Engineering Science, and
spent five semesters studying Fine Arts at SUNY Cortland and Hartwick
College. He is the principle
engineer and owner of Bray
Engineering in Bovina
Center, NY. He is currently
in post-production on a short film and a documentary on Bovina
history, which he is directing, editing and producing. John Finn [Co-Director & Producer] John has been involved in the film business for over a decade, focusing primarily on the financial aspects of production. He owns JFA, Inc., which provides film production accounting services to independent producers, and is the founder of Indiepay. This is John's first foray into the creative side of filmmaking. He also plays bass in two New York bands: Future Farmers of America and Pispoure. Garret Savage [Co-Director & Editor] Garret works in New York and Los Angeles as a film editor on commercials, television programs, and feature films. Other shorts he has directed include For Food, Shoot the Freak, and The List. He edited the award winning indie feature, Olympia (Slamdance, Sundance Channel).

He received his Master's degree at NYU, where his thesis short, Mr. Smith Goes to Pittsburgh, was a National Finalist for the Student Academy Awards. He owns a 1973 Chrysler Newport. While it's too heavy to race, the ladies think it's "all right."
Allen S. Lau [Sound] Allen is a fledgling sound editor and lives in downtown Brooklyn. He was initially disappointed to learn what his involvement in a documentary about "doing laps" had nothing to do with Pennsylvania strips clubs at all. He is noted for his overweening sense of pride and entitlement, and even in his spare time is often observed heaping scorn upon his fellow man. Allen can be persuaded to work well with others only through threats of physical intimidation.
Jeremy Landman [Sound] Jeremy is a freelance graphic designer in Los Angeles. He designs for print, video and interactive media and is particularly fond of recycled cardboard. He will also work for beer or praise if showered in sufficient quantity. Disciples of Agriculture [Original Music] The
Disciples of Agriculture invented Bovina Rock, a scorch-and-twang cowpunk
that has earned acclaim in No
Depression, Metroland Magazine and in Alt-country
circles around the globe. Local-boy Dan Finn writes Buck Owens'
tunes with Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska-esque story-lines, and D.O.A.
stomps in with the energy of the Ramones
and the tasteful melodic-hook sensibility of early R.E.M. "D.O.A.
are more like dusty work boots
than black leather jackets. These guys sound like they listened to the
Stones, the Scorchers and the Georgia Satellites and came up with a
happy hybrid sound. It's hard to sit through this record (This Same
Fate, 1997, Kranepool), so be prepared to move the coffee table
out of the way and make a dance floor." (Kim Webber, Country
Standard Time). Big
Barn Burning is Bovina's first rock-and-roll band to press to vinyl.
Frontman Matt Pelletier, who now performs in the Capitol District area
with singer/songwriter/brother Andrew in The College Farm, remains the
standard, the mold, by which all frontmen who rock, are measured. Broken
up since the early 90's, Big Barn's two albums, Acres and Acres
and Topping the Orchard are now difficult-to-acquire cult classics.
