Our Team

  • Maya Reter

    Maya Reter

    Director, Sound Designer, Producer

    Maya is a sound artist and storyteller from the cornfields of Illinois, currently based in Chicago. She has hands in many facets of audio, but most frequently helps craft audio fiction, theatrical works, and documentaries. When she's not staring into the sweet glow of ProTools, she's probably out in the woods recording voice memos of the trees.

  • Joe Blanchard

    Writer, Storyteller, Producer

    Joe is a performing artist and storyteller based in Chicago. A true fantasy fan at heart, Joe believes that magic is real—it just takes lots and lots of elbow grease. Along with his narrative work, Joe is a published board game designer, theatrical fight/intimacy coordinator, and overall angry citizen.
