Mac Carter is an award-winning commercial director whose signature work blends cinematic visual design with understated, naturalistic performance. As a graduate student in the film program at USC, Carter wrote and directed two short films that played at festivals around the world. While still a student, he got his first professional jobs in the commercial industry drawing storyboards and developing visual style templates for established directors.

Soon thereafter, he teamed with his film school friend, Jeffrey Blitz, to begin directing commercials at Anonymous Content for clients such as McDonalds, Yahoo, Mastercard, John Hancock, Coca-Cola and Toyota. With their striking brand of storytelling, Carter & Blitz were featured in Creativity and Shoot Magazine as “Directors to Watch,” and were included in the prestigious Saatchi & Saatchi New Directorʼs Showcase. Their spot, “Happy Ending,” for the Mill Valley Film Festival, won multiple awards including a Golden Pencil at the One Show
and a Bronze Lion at Cannes.

Since going solo, Carter has expanded his international
client roster, directing recent campaigns for Intel, Jaguar, Visa, SBC, Kelloggs and Burger King. To date, he has directed over 100 commercials, approximately 20 million dollars worth, all around the world. He also recently contributed the short documentary, “Dave,” to the Live Earth campaign. A piece of comic activism, the film chronicles one manʼs effort to convert his car to biofuel by eating his way across Chinatown.

Adam Byrne produced The Strange Adventures of HP Lovecraft, for which he also provided the cover artwork and colors.

He is an illustrator and animator by trade, having served as a visual animation supervisor for Platinum Studios and a lead animator for Film Roman, which produces The Simpsons and King of the Hill. He traces his inspiration to a chance encounter in Tokyo with Hayao Miyazaki, who personally introduced him to the behind-the-scenes wonders of animated film magic.

The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft marks Byrne's foray into creator-owned comics.

Tony Salmons is an underground artist, it turns out. He’s drawn commercial comics but only to critical note. These have been few and far between with most of his professional work on storyboard for film/TV. For the record, he objects categorically to the appellation, “artist’s artist,” like a roadhouse theater troop regards overripe produce.

Salmons regards the current explosive renaissance of comic talent and content the greatest since Silver Age. He’s happy to have placed anywhere in the august line up in modern comics.

His sparkling personality and can-do attitude are bound to establish him as the Ms. Congeniality of the Lovecraft project and the spark plug of the team.
