Ben Bailey Smith started his career as a UK-based rapper known as Doc Brown before diversifying and moving into mainstream TV and film acting, stand up comedy, screen writing and children's books. He has a host of notable television performances under his belt including roles in Law & Order and Miranda as well as the British children's show 4 O'Clock Club.
Sav Akyüz is an illustrator with 14 years of storyboard artistry behind him. Sav has been asked to sketch many things by TV advertising executives from things that excite (sports, cars, a combination of both) to those that, perhaps, don't quite hold such a glamorous appeal (roasted vegetables). Sav has also been a visual effects artist on numerous feature films, a cloth-layer upper for Burberry and served ice cream outside the Tate Britain.
