JOHN T. WOODS, as Will

He has had guest spots on CSI Miami and supporting roles in the indie features “Heart of Now” and “Zombie Strippers”, as well as a number of critically acclaimed short films that have run the major festival circuit and were featured on The Sundance Channel.

Zak Forsman is an American independent filmmaker whose emotionally-charged work is known for highly authentic performances and beautiful compositions.

More recently he wrote and directed the feature motion picture, “Heart of Now” (currently in post) and the short film, “I Fucking Hate You”.
