Derek Frankowski is a photographer; wanna be graphic designer and now filmmaker. A visually driven person that has a passion for good light and good coffee. He came from the Canadian flat lands and now lives in the mountains with his family Kari and Odessa.
A senior photographer for Bike Magazine he has contributed to many international publications and advertising campaigns and will be applying that knowledge to cinema.

Ryan Gibb is a filmmaker. A filmmaker who loves the outdoors, there's nothing more he would rather do then ride his bike in the summer and snoodle(ski) in the winter. Settling down in Rossland, BC with his wife Kaylee was the perfect fit, both as a filmmaker and for his lifestyle. As a filmmaker he hopes his experience in and out of film school will help him bring something a little different to Life Cycles. In his personal life he aspires to race the Baja 1000 and hopes to teach his(wife's) chihuahua to do back flips off the couch.

Word ninja, publisher and marketing mason Mitchell Scott has been writing professionally for the past decade. In that time he has earned a reputation as one of North America's most prolific outdoor adventure writers.
Editor of Kootenay Mountain Culture Magazine, Editor-at-Large with Bike, Senior Correspondent with its sister publication, Powder, a columnist with Skier Magazine, a contributor to many more, not to mention, Brand Manager with Kona Bicycles, Mitchell gets around.
But it's his expertise in storytelling-across all mediums- that makes his a voice worth listening too. Currently Mitchell lives in Nelson, British Columbia, the heart of all things outdoor cool in Canada. www.kmcmag.com
Graham Tracey is a singer, a strummer, a talker, and a drummer. He is not a dancer. He spent his twenties in New York City composing film scores, singing jingles, hauling ski bags to the airport, and staying up late with musicians, publicans, roadies, ad-men, and other unsavory folk.
Graham is spending his thirties in a similar way, but now lives the dream in Rossland, BC with his wife, his son, and his studio.

Markus Nurmi and Anders Petersen, these guys are two talented dudes. They shred the computer skills like an iron chef and make pixel magic. They are able to take what we got and create what we need. They'll have a site and proper name before this film is done.
