Matthew Hazen (Dustin/Writer/Executive Producer) hates writing bios. He wishes there was one kickass sentence that would wrap up his past work and give a taste of his personality, but instead he’ll go with the usual life-story style bio. He was born and raised in Miami, FL, where he discovered his love of musical theatre. After focusing his education on the subject in high school (at New World School of the Arts) and college (at Syracuse University, where he received his B.F.A.), he made New York City his home, and began to immerse himself in the world of film and screenwriting. He wrote/produced 2 episodes of his first comedic web series, “Datebook,” and having learned from the experience moved on to write and produce all 12 episodes of a new series – “3rd Wheel,” which he has worked on since early 2015. After returning from over half a year in the Mediterranean Sea, singing on the exclusive 6-star (apparently, that’s a thing) Seabourn Odyssey, Matthew is excited to return to land and finally release this baby, after gestating for about the length of time an elephant does.

Eric is thrilled to be a part of this kooky, big hearted web series. With a background in theater acting and penchant for big facial expressions, Eric has played his fair share of over the top characters. Eric was thrilled to be a part of this project with the rest of the cast and crew, as there was an endless amount of laughter, collaboration, outrageousness, and FUN! Graduating from Pace University with a degree in acting, Eric is now primarily a photographer. Check out his website at erictronolonephotography.com for all of your headshot and lifestyle/fashiony needs.
P.S. Eric wishes he could have written this bio in all emojis.

Born and raised in Queens New York, Pat started playing the guitar at the age of 16 and released his first single titled "She Lights Up The Dark" on August 5th 2016. Listening to the melodic complexity and emotion of "She Lights Up The Dark" as well has the deeply soulful lead guitar work, it comes as no surprise that Pat lists some of his main influences as Marty Friedman (former Megadeth) Christopher Amott (Armageddon, former Arch Enemy) and the late Dimebag Darrell (Pantera) to name a few.
