Kurtis Wakefield playing Greg. Kurtis is an actor who started on the stage in Perth but quickly moved into independent filmmaking. This is his third feature film as an actor, amidst many more credits in shorts. Kurtis also pulled huge amounts of weight on Insecurity by setting up shots, lighting design and serving as Assistant Director.
Peter Love playing Leon. Peter is a young actor currently starring in the Australian TV show Pete Boone: Private Eye, screened on Aurora.
Ben Sand playing Kevin. Ben is a career nerd (which is a Good Thing), having spent time repairing computers, performing system builds & installs, and occasionally dabbles in various forms of scripting on his Linux servers. What's this got to do with acting? Nothing! Although some of his pro-Open Source rants did inspire some lines of dialogue given to his character in the film.
Zoe Tarling playing Madison Black. Zoe is a talented musician / actress currently working toward a career in the business-end of the Australian alternative music industry. Her music can be heard over the end credits, and also on the soundtrack cd.
The Principle CrewRohan Harris, writer/director/editor/producer. Rohan has been working on independent, zero-budget projects for two years now, starting with various shorts and culminating most recently with this project. He works as a contract software developer to support his film-making, and believes that literally nothing can't be accomplished with the judicious application of Python, PostgreSQL and the tiniest bit of C++. He also prefers either RPM-based distros, or OS X for anything visual.
Jay Mitra, cinematographer/stills photographer. Jay has been an avid stills photographer for some years, and has recently begun working with Rohan as his cinematographer. When not pointing cameras at things, Jay engages in a daily battle against Exchange servers, and enjoys sneaking Linux servers into work when nobody's looking.
David W. Murdoch, executive producer. David has written, produced, directed and edited his own work for years - he has shot shorts on everything from 8mm up to HD.
Peter Beamish, sound recordist/production assistant. Words can't express the gratitude everyone on this project has for Pete's work. However, they can describe some of the hardships, which included: a very cold, uncomfortable place to sit with the sound equipment for hours at a time and working (like the rest of us) on almost no sleep at all for four straight days.
Sean Walsh, musician. Sean's incredible music makes up almost every single track in Insecurity. From fast-paced alternative tracks to remixes like the opening title music Pitt St to the haunting Create the Future played over Madison's webcam footage, we can't stress enough just how important his brilliant work was on this project.
In addition to these people, we also need to think the others who put their time and energy into all stages of this production. These are:
- Laurel Oades, for designing the web site you're now viewing
- Jen Greiss, sound recordist and beret connoisseur
- Louise Bennett, co-producer and a being of the utmost resolve
- Grant Barrie, for putting up with so much in the same frequency bands as the six trillion crickets that inhabit Sydney, Australia.
- Terry Lelliott, for his astute eye
