Katsuyuki Ueno (also as Katz) was born and raised in Japan. According
to his family, he first took the super-8 footage when he was 3 years
old. Thanks to his father and grandfather’s hobbies, he had
access to video camera, and made his first film when he was 13 years
old. He moved to Los Angeles soon after he graduated from high school
to pursue his goal to be a filmmaker. Since then, he has been working
for dozens of independent short films, and has skills of almost
every aspect of filmmaking. “Life After” is his first
English film. It was first time for him to write in English and
shoot in English.
Katsuyuki also
designs web sites and take pictures as a photographer. His pictures
received a couple of awards. He is currently studying at California
State University, Long Beach, Film and Electronic Arts Department.

Glen
Diller was born and raised in the East San Francisco Bay Area. After
realizing his life’s calling was not, as he had believed since
he was eight, to be an animator or syndicated newspaper cartoonist,
he moved to Los Angeles. There he got an Associates in Cinema at
Santa Monica College. It was here that he became the two-time president
of the Santa Monica College Filmmaker’s Association, where
he wrote and directed three short films, produced several others,
and directed the photography on upwards of twenty others, including
“Life After.”
He now lives
in Minneapolis Minnesota, where he is putting the finishing touches
on over a dozen unfinished projects, including short films, a website,
scripts, and various other visual and written media. Glen would
just like to say that it was a pleasure working with Katz and the
entire “Life After” crew, and that he hates doing bios
for himself in the third person.
“Life
After” is the fifth short film produced under his NightOwl
productions company.
