Kyle Walters

A charming smirk and a relatable quirk.  Kyle Walters is an actor, artist, web designer, reader of comic books and a generally nice and goofy dude. He grew up in Northern California in the heart of suburbia.  Going on to graduating from NYU with a BFA in Drama, he has recently moved to Los Angeles.  You may recognize him as the geeky love interest from Pemberley Digital’s “Welcome to Sanditon” or as the quirky man child Peter Pan in “The New Adventures of Peter and Wendy” which he co-created and executive produced.  Entertainment Weekly said this about him “Walters, puppyish, is appealing as a manchild.”  He’s also performed in numerous indie features, new media projects and plays.

You can check him out on IMDb or at his website www.kylewalters.com.  His Illustrations have been printed at threadless and at society6.com.

Paula Rhodes

Producer (s2, s3), Actor

“Do what you love” is proving a stellar guiding principle for this multi-hyphenate and founding member of the 5’2″ & Under Club.  After traipsing around London, being a voice match for Disney’s Wendy (Kathryn Beaumont), & generally adoring the Pan mythos/not growing up, she’s beyond thrilled to be stepping into Wendy’s nightgown. It’s added to her fan-girl bucket list that had already happily procured checks with ElfQuest (to which she and her producing partner now hold the film/TV rights after the success of their fan trailer) and the West Coast premiere of Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere. It’s possible she looks/sounds familiar from various cartoons, commercials, TV & film adventures (Barbie, Monster High, Grand Theft Auto V, Final Fantasy, QVG, Knights of Hyrule, Shuffle, Lions for Lambs,etc…) or maybe you’ve just run into her at various Cons.  She now invites you to fall in love with Neverland as she has.

Matthew Breault

Director, Editor (s2)

Matthew Breault grew up loving movies. He learned to operate a VCR before he knew how to read and has saved every ticket stub he has purchased since the age of 10. At a young age Matthew fell in love with action/adventure and horror films but always drawn to stories that focused on a strong human relationship. It was after seeing the film Run Lola Run, an innovative and action packed story about the love of two young people and what they are willing to sacrifice for each other, that he knew he wanted to grow up and make films.

Matthew Breault moved to California in 2001. He studied mechanical engineering at Stanford University and developed a love of design, creativity, problem solving and pragmatically viewing the world around him.

In 2005 he relocated to Los Angeles and worked as an engineer before being admitted to The University of Southern California to study his true passion: moviemaking.

Matthew focused on directing narrative fiction while at USC. He has received numerous awards and recognition for his films including the prestigious Accolade Directing Award. His work has shown at various film festivals from New York to Los Angeles.
