In the heart-pumping world of superheroes, it’s not often you get a glimpse behind the mask. Enter “Card Game,” a short film that dares to ask: what happens when three heroes swap spandex for a friendly game of cards?
This isn’t your grandma’s canasta. Through the deals and reveals, we peel back the layers on these larger-than-life figures. Think less “Avengers Assemble,” more “Avengers Unplugged.”
The Dream Team Behind the Heroics
As the mastermind behind “Card Game,” I’m Isaac Middleton. And I’m not about to pull a Kanye – but I’ve got to give it up for the ridiculously talented folks who made this flick possible.
Desiree Choy: The Triple Threat with a Heart of Gold
Born and raised in San Francisco, Desiree isn’t just an actress – she’s a singer-songwriter, author, and all-around powerhouse. With credits like “13 Reasons Why” and “Card Game” under her belt, this lady’s got range. Oh, and she’s got pipes too – check out her track “Baby When It’s Time”. Working with Desiree? It’s like having your own personal ray of sunshine on set.
Justin Cabanting: The Man of Many Hats (and Accents)
Justin’s got that X-factor – you know, the thing that makes you want to watch him do his laundry. As an actor, model, stuntman, and voice talent, he’s done it all. And with his SAG-AFTRA card in hand, he’s just getting started. This Filipino/Hawaiian dynamo brings the heat every
time. Bonus points: he’s also a sound engineer, so he’s got the skills to match that charisma.
Melisa Lopez: The Veteran with a Fresh Vibe
Hailing from the Bronx (the real one, not the zoo), Melisa’s been bitten by the acting bug since she was a tiny Dorothy in a school play. Now, this Puerto Rican powerhouse is taking names. With a can-do attitude and a willingness to roll up her sleeves, Melisa’s your go-to gal both in front of and behind the camera. She’s the secret weapon your production never knew it needed.
Dwight Taylor: The Mad Genius
Dwight’s like that one friend who’s good at everything. Acting, DP work, sound – the man’s a Swiss Army knife. With a resume boasting titles like “From the Mad Genius Mind of Devin” and “So Dead,” he’s clearly got a knack for the dramatic. And the best part? He brings that A-game every
single time.
Andrew Johnston: The Man Behind the Magic
In the shadows of every great film is a cinematographer who gets it. Andrew’s your guy. As a DP, editor, and cameraman, he’s the one making everyone look good. Think of him as the film’s secret ingredient – a little AJ makes everything pop.
And Yours Truly…
Okay, okay, I know – it sounds cheesy to toot your own horn. But hey, someone’s got to wrap this up. As an actor, singer, songwriter, and author, I’m just happy to be along for the ride with this incredible crew. So if you’re looking for some serious talent to elevate your next project, give these folks a shout. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
