Crew

	Rob Vornkahl Director/Producer Robert has a B.A. in Film Studies and Production from Hofstra University and currently lives and works in New York City. Frank and Barry makes his 7th short film he has directed. He has Produced, Shot, Lit and Consulted on over 50 shorts, sketches, webseries, commercials and documentaries. Previous Directing Credits: Ellipsis, Passenger Side, Side Effects, Smile, The Punk and Stereo Types.
	Paul DeKams Writer/Producer Paul was born on Long Island, raised on Long Island, and currently still lives on Long Island. He would like to one day leave Long Island for somewhere exotic...like Upstate New York. The last film he wrote, Living on a Prayer, forced actors to consume bowl after bowl of coleslaw, and Frank and Barry has resulted in actors being covered in copious amounts of fake blood. Paul is currently brainstorming new ways to torture talented actors. He takes requests.
	Brian Harnick Cinematographer/DP Brian grew up in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and at the age of 11 he became enthralled with his parent’s video camera. Drawn in by its possibilities, he enrolled in video classes in High School and has never looked back. After graduating in 2005 with a B.A. in Film Production and Studies and a minor in Fine Arts from Hofstra University, he set out to become a Cinematographer. After a couple of years in the camera department, Brian switched career paths to pursue lighting. As a Gaffer on feature films, music videos, television shows, industrials and more, Brian continues to grow as a respected and distinct talent in the entertainment industry. Brian lives and works in the NYC area where recently he has begun to realize his goal of becoming a Cinematographer with projects such as “Policy Peril” and “Frank and Barry.”
	Kristine Bogan Producer Ever since Kristine was a little girl, she wanted to be a rockstar. When that didn’t work out, Kristine figured she should probably go to college to find a more stable career path. Instead, she attended Hofstra University and obtained her B.A. in Film Studies and Production. Kristine has since produced a bevy of commercials, music videos, web series, and short films. She has received awards for “Best Director” for her debut film, Faking It and The Adrienne Shelley Award for “Most Promising Female Director” at the Long Island Film Festival. Kristine hopes to one day produce big budget Russian pornography under the pseudonym Alan Smithee. She also wanted to end this bio with a snappy vampire reference, but it seemed forced.
	Mike Api Editor Mike Api began his love affair with editing by splicing together home movies at age 8. Having [slightly] progressed since then, Mike has been editing the ABC show Wife Swap for the past three seasons. He is also a founder and online editor for the comedy production company Sans Pants Productions and is making his film editorial debut with Frank & Barry. Mike hopes this will lead to a long career of editing shorts and features, but either way, he will always be available to cut his family's home movies...for a price.
