• About Me

  Xavier Garcia, a Puerto Rican-born writer, director, and producer, is celebrated for his thought-provoking and faith-inspired storytelling. From a young age, Garcia displayed a passion for filmmaking, writing feature-length scripts and creating short movies with his brother. His journey into the world of cinema began during his high school years, where he honed his editing skills and interned at various media outlets.

  While studying Spanish Literature and Theater at Colby College, Garcia filmed his first DSLR feature documentary, "Go Walk America," documenting a journey of awareness and activism. This project earned him recognition, including a Telly Award for excellence in filmmaking.

  Transitioning to narrative filmmaking, Garcia's debut short film, "Armor of God," garnered acclaim in faith-based film festivals, paving the way for his subsequent projects. His film "Crossroad" earned accolades for its screenplay and direction, solidifying Garcia's reputation as a rising talent in the industry.

  With "A Blood Throne," Garcia explored the genre of Biblical thriller, receiving widespread acclaim and multiple awards, including Best Picture at The New Hope Film Festival in New Hope PA.

  In collaboration with his brother Jonathan, Garcia co-wrote and produced "King Cobras: Men's Group," a comedic episodic project aimed at addressing societal issues within the Latino community. The series, known for its humor and cultural commentary, debuted in 2021.

  Based in Boston, Massachusetts, Garcia resides with his wife and children, and together with his brother, operates their production company, Mount Harvest. With a commitment to engaging storytelling and a diverse range of projects, Xavier Garcia continues to make his mark in the world of film.

NEVILLE ELDER

Documentary Producer, Writer, Director

• About Me

  If I started at the beginning I’d just confuse you, so I’ll tell you about right now.
  

  In the broadest sense of the world I'm a storyteller. I produce write, shoot and edit short films, corporate promos, and little stories about people, places, and things, in New York City.

  I also rock out like a bastard with my band Thee Shambels and I've just finished a short film based on my music.

  I joined the Masters in Fine Arts program Hunter College in New York , where I'm enrolled in the Integrated Media Arts course making documentaries. I suppose it's rooted in my career in newspapers, but I'm still drawn to everyday drama. My films record he small triumphs and calamities that befall real people in the world around me. Stories that are often ignored, and mistaken for footnotes in our lives. In selecting stories, I look for open ended third acts -  tales that are not finished in the telling.
  

  I’ve been a bartender, a barista, a photojournalist, a stage manager and an usher in the theatre. I’ve put up drywall and sold air conditioners.. It’s a lot I know, sometimes I wake up and wonder who I am and what I’m supposed to be today. But that’s why they invented coffee.
