Your DIRECTOR DUO
Cat Rider and zap mcconnell (cazap) are the two crazy nuts that decided to make a feature documentary, in case you were wondering, at any point in this process, who to blame… who to blame for the life-giving, soul - feeding, raw, funny, told-with-a-raw-punk-rock style story that you are so lovingly fed. We are here to make a film that nourishes you, and invites you, with our friend Mary, to connect to yourself and the people in your community.
CAZAP

Life & art & spirit & dance are all a part of our interconnected world. After two successful artistic collaborations (a music video film & a dance film), cazap was born. A combination of zap mcconnell & Cat Rider, cazap is movement, experimentation, story & inspiration. This director duo lives by “process is product,” aiming to disrupt the hierarchical norms of creating through the process & product of their filmmaking.

the dogs are the real MVPs
Kayleigh Lennon: Producer with Storyocity. Keeps our butts in line. Professional organizer this film and therefore our lives
+ Griffy: Also keeps us in line just with that face.
Garret Ollish: Producer, second camera, lighting. There is actually legit for real only one Garret Ollish in the world. Seriously, google the name. But we already knew that.
+ Tomo: Thinks the film is about him. Forces you to stop editing because he needs attention, which we are actually grateful for.
Kerry Stephens: Sound goddess. If you look up ROCKSTAR in the dictionary, a photo of Kerry booming audio is there. Take our word for it.
+ BLUE: Second guesses everything we do. Can’t you tell?
Mary Haglund: The helm of our story, breakfast queen, story consultant.
+ Lola: Our queen
Cat Rider: Director, Cinematographer, Editor, bad cop, dog-less.
zap mcconnell: Director, Art Dept w/ Cat, animation, good cop, also dog-less.
