Danya Levine is an award-winning writer, producer, collaborator, and creative with successful experience in content creation, digital live streaming, film/TV production, and animation. Wearer of many hats and bearer of a long, varied resume, she has collected vast amounts of useless knowledge that makes her a most wanted teammate on trivia nights and a “Class A” hairbrush singer for hits from the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. She considers herself a film and television history aficionado who learned everything from Saturdays with Sid & Marty Kroft and Sesame Street. She’s got more rhymes than Phyllis Diller.

Memorable Projects: Too Many Cooks, I guess. They’re all memorable to me.

Matt Foster is a multi-talented comic genius, renaissance man, and certified giraffe tamer/rider created in a moonshine brewing experiment gone awry in the foothills of Appalachia. He spent nearly a century wandering country roads and performing elaborate, multi-act puppet dramedies to the disdain of locals before being offered a residency at Adult Swim.
