Producer - Bry Troyer

At age 7, Bry Troyer, on a farm in Kansas, cast his horse and his 4-H pig in his first movie or musical, I Sing About Pigs. Since then, he has transitioned to making movies for people, co-writing, and producing the recent feature, They Reach. Bry continues consulting and line producing on other features, writing and producing short films while waiting for COVID-19 to wrap up. He hopes that some of them never leave the Internet’s dark corners.

Bry attended the University of Washington’s film school program after earning a bachelor’s degree from George Washington University and enrolling there for law. He is currently a producer at the e-sports and production company Evil Geniuses. Additionally, he teaches production management at Seattle Film Institute and has developed and produced commercial material for clients like Coca-Cola and the University of Washington.

Along with his work in video production, he has over ten years of experience in radio journalism and professional writing as an editor, news director, and freelance journalist on subjects ranging from drag queens to dairy cows. He resides in Washington with his husband Ron, their rat terrier Bilbo, and four house plants.

Screenwriting Mentor and Consultant - Wally Lane

Wally Lane, Mark’s screenwriting mentor, can’t be described simply. But here is a summary:

In 2007 at the PNWA Conference, Mark met Wally. He advised Mark to consider screenwriting, which the latter decided to try. Now, fifteen years later, Mark says, “If my scripts don’t float your boat, it’s all Wally’s fault. If you think they’re great, then, Thank you!” That’s not what Mark actually says. Wally had once been a professional boxer, after all.

The truth is that he appreciates Wally for being so patient with him as a stumbling, too wordy, novelizing shambles of a sort-of apprentice. Wally Lane is credited as one of Dark Landings’ screenwriters, and we are honored to have him on board as a mentor and consultant at every stage of the process.
