Cameron is a writer, director, producer, musician, actor... and a whole lot of other things I can't think of right now. A few years ago she opened Studio Dreamshare which is a school and production company and training center for young up and coming actors and filmmakers. She has been working closely with Brian for several years and is an essential part of the team.
Kiran comes by his love of cinema honestly. He grew up working on movie sets back in India, where his passion was fueled learning from his brother who happens to be one of India's top directors. Responding to a call for crew, Kiran joined the Painted Sharks Project.
Elias is a musician, engineer & composer. He's one of those guys who's been everywhere and done everything... and we're lucky to have him on our team!
Gabriele is an award winning composer and arranger from Italy. He and Brian began working together on the Percy Harris project about ten years ago and went on to score three films in total. He's scored countless movies and is known and respected worldwide.
Gabriele's scores are so moody and 'present' they become very much a part of the cast and in many ways tell the story themselves.

Flora is about the busiest person I know. She's scored countless films and performs concerts around the world while leading workshops and attending festivals... where she always wins!!

Has she begun tinkering any new themes for Pictures of Us? Hmmm...
Meriem has always had a passion for music. She & a partner launched a recording studio and indie media company. Recently, she reached out to Brian & came on board as chief MUA & stylist for Painted Sharks.
*** She's also pretty damned good when armed with a camera too!
Christopher is a retired military veteran. After 33 years of service, it was time to relax and take it easy—or so he had thought. With abundant free time and resources, Christopher decided to follow one of his other passions in life: film. When he is not on the set with the Lutes Cousins, he can be found volunteering his time and skills with the local TV station or training for that next big "runcation".
Beatrice is a cinematographer and photographer based in Ottawa, Ontario. She began her career in film as a stills photographer in New York and has since worked on various independent films, feature films, commercials, and music video as a cinematographer. Her love of color palettes and editing has also garnered her a role of an editor and colorist in various independent productions scheduled to release this year. She strives to capture stories that convey emotion and strive to break cultural, racial and socioeconomic barriers through her work.
