The Team
Erick P.G. Schiele
With over 25 years of experience in the film and television industry, Erick has been a traditional artist, CG artist, designer, writer and director.
Erick was born in New York City and raised in Connecticut, growing up next door to the main characters in Billion Dollar Babies – the Alice Cooper Band. As a child in the early 1970s, spending time with the band had an indelible impact on his life, and continues to inspire his creative journey.
Erick studied fine art at Washington & Jefferson College, which took him abroad to study painting. Upon his return to NYC, he worked for commercial directors, while also designing sets and costumes for film directors. This opened the door for him to attend the Master's program for film and stage design at NYU Tisch School of the Arts.
After receiving a graduate degree in 1995, Erick went on to work for several top directors, including Abel Ferrara, Wayne Wang, Melvin Van Peebles and Matthew Broderick.
Upon his arrival in Los Angeles in the late 1990s, Erick shifted his traditional artistic skill set to the emerging digital and 3D platform, allowing him to converge many of his spatial and artistic talents in an entirely new direction.
Erick spent the 2000s designing titles for Eli Roth, and working as a 3D artist on tentpole films including I, Robot, Oblivion, Ghost Rider and Iron Man. Erick also spent two years working on Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow as both an artist and a designer. Within that time period, Erick also studied stage directing at an LA based theater, directing the award winning short films Missing Mia, Insecurity and Dark Bar as well as writing and developing over six feature scripts.
He lives with his wife and their 12-year-old daughter in Los Angeles, and also co-hosts a film podcast called “Martini Giant”.

Ted Andre
Ted is an award-winning Producer and Production Executive, who has successfully developed and produced cutting-edge, critically acclaimed independent content for theatrical, television, and streaming platforms. He is also Co-Founder and COO of Coda Music Inc., and Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Black Market Entertainment, LLC (BME). His creative background has a solid foundation in both filmmaking and music.
Ted was born in Germany to a military Special Ops family, which meant constantly moving to different countries. This nomadic lifestyle led to an appreciation for a wide range of cultures and history, and an obsession with the creative spirit of the stories told through film, music, and graphic novels.
He began his artistic career as a lead guitarist at age 16, performing in venues as varied as backyard parties to motorcycle clubs in Boston MA. Shortly after graduating high school, he passed up attending MIT, and came to Los Angeles to audition for the guitar spot in Ozzy Osbourne’s band. He signed his first recording contract at age 18.
Ted formed the bands Sister Shotgun (managed by Tami Shad, produced by Bill Wray), and The Disciples (Charlie Minor/Giant Records, produced by Ron Bloom), playing countless shows in every major Los Angeles venue. He also became a prolific session musician, working as a ghost player for top charting bands across multiple genres. He has recorded sessions in top LA studios including Sound City and Cherokee Studios.
Ted was approached for the guitar spot in Limp Bizkit, but he was focused on producing his first feature film, the sci-fi noir thriller Feedback. The film was both critically and commercially successful – getting picked up by HBO, Showtime, and Netflix after winning several festival awards.
He produced the groundbreaking graphic novel action-comedy Tainted Love, starring Eric Roberts and Orlando Jones, which garnered notable success as both a feature film and serialized streaming content. The show won the Jury Award at the Richmond International Film Festival, and was voted Top 10 Series in Variety.
He lives with his wife and their 3 rescue dogs in West Hollywood, and remains an avid guitarist.
