My name is Paige Smith and I am 22 years old, 5’8″, and I am 130lbs. I am a professional photographer and videographer. I graduated in December 2020 from Purdue University Northwest earning my bachelors degree in Business Management. I currently have my own business called Paige Marie Photography. My goal is to open up my own photography studio in the near future. I worked on the Media Team for ComplexCon Chicago and have worked for G-Eazy and his DJ for a few of their shows in Chicago, including at TAO Chicago during All-Star Weekend 2020. Throughout my senior year of high school I interned at IN/Tek and IN/Kote working in the finance department.

His screenplays have been voted onto the prestigious industry Black List three years in a row and four times in the past five years, including in 2020 with his latest script, The Saturday Night Ghost Club. His feature film screenplay, The Cabin at the End of the World, based on the Stoker Award winning horror novel and written for FilmNation (Arrival, The King’s Speech), made the 2019 Black List. In the previous year, his sci-fi adventure screenplay, Harry’s All-Night Hamburgers, sold to Warner Bros in a competitive bidding war, with Oscar Nominated Producer Andrew Lazar (American Sniper) attached to produce. It also became the only script of 2018 to land in the top 5 on both the annual Black List and the annual Hit List. His previous script, Orb, made the Black List, Hit List, and was voted #1 on the Blood List, honoring the best dark genre screenplays of the year.

As a director, Steve’s short film, Monsters, has amassed over two million views online and screened at more than 100 film festivals around the world, winning 45 awards including Best Short Film at the Comic-Con International Film Festival, along with being named a Vimeo Staff Pick.

Josh McCausland’s work approaches visual reality from its own unique angle.

As both a videographer and graphic designer, Josh is comfortable reconciling the real with the imagined, and it shows in what he creates. His work is refreshing, and exhibits a cleanliness that is never too removed from humanity.

Healing plays a large part in creation for Josh as “an outward expression for internal struggles.” Art is his way of continuing to exist “as a child in the living room sketching on the floor, with no restrictions and no worries.”

It is this feeling of freedom that Josh’s work truly captures, allowing everyone who interacts with it a much-needed moment of peace in its simple beauty and effortless elegance.

In his pursuits, Josh has completed a BFA at Cumberland University with a major in Entertainment Design and a minor in film studies. He developed his own film company, iQ Flicks during college and now maintains his small business while working full-time for Relativity creating in house video work.
