The enigma that is Grae Drake began her love affair with film as a wee bairn, as she spent every weekend corralling her friends over to the local multiplex to catch the latest flick. Soon, her taste for film became ravenous when she starred as an extra in the short film "Alexander the Grape," directed by her high school crush that she really, really wanted to impress (she failed, by the way, but she blames the script). She continued to keep a camera glued to her hand and gravitated toward shooting and editing, which she studied at the University of Texas at Austin. At this point, she has been fortunate enough to have a short film at Sundance, a film honored at the Director's Guild of America, and a job working on the Emmy-winning show "Extreme Makeover Home Edition." Basically, wherever Grae goes she is either filming or thinking about filming something. So watch out. You could be next.
The lady Gariana Abeyta, a Comedian/Writer/Projectionist, often describes herself as a Hero of the working class, and always adds that she was banned from the Loaf & Jug in Fountain, Colorado. You may have seen her stand-up on Almost Live from the Comedy Corner, Comedy Compadres, Funny is Funny, or Nickelodeon's "And Now Here’s This." Her aggressive style of comedy has won her awards, lead to a successful USO tour, and lost her many friends. Between touring the United States and to help feed her overwhelming desire for seeing movies for free, she has worked her entire life as a projectionist. One of those lucky establishments includes Grauman’s Chinese Theater, the most famous movie theater in the world.
