Chloé Colleen
@Thechloecolleen
A hopeful rags to riches story Chloé Colleen has dropped her last name to sound more important. A lover, and advice columnist to those who don’t ask. Chloé is on set everything man. If you need something done one could ask her, though she will state she prefers acting, but will try her best. She has studied a little bit of a lot of theater. You may recognize her or you may not. We will see.
Syd Smith
@actual.hero
Born in the late 90s, raised on movies, video games, comic books, and novels, Syd Smith has consumed stories from a young age. As an adult, she aspires to be a storyteller, returning the favor to those who came before. Syd is a little bit of everything, though focuses her efforts mainly on directing, writing, and keeping set morale high. When she's not working on film projects, she spends her time attempting things like game development, photography, illustration, and making the perfect pizza.
Ethan Funk-Breay
@ethernet97
A graphic design major from the University of Northern Colorado, Funk-Breay is an illustrator who originally wanted to be a comic book artist. He started his film career at his university’s film club continuing to incorporate his artistry in directing, posters, and concept art. When he’s not drinking coffee, he’s probably doodling something on whatever piece of paper he can find.
In the BEGINNING…
Three friends from Colorado had an insane dream of pursuing the art of filmmaking. With their combined experience, they came together and created Funky Carrot, which they figured was a funny enough sounding name to turn some heads.
The projects that started the crew off were The Professionals and Darling + Ahab, with only more ideas on the drawing table to grow and explore.
In their journey, the crew of Funky Carrot found the value of collaboration and patience for all projects in filmmaking and all work worth doing. Art takes time, so be patient. It’ll be worth it.
