Karson Whatley
Karson hails from Montgomery, AL and has loved stories and storytelling from day one. He has been the author of countless "Self-published Works" (bundles of notebook paper scrawled with ideas, stories, and scripts). As a musician since early childhood, a student of all things 'film,' and a fan of modernist poetry, Karson's artistic interests range by varying media.
His largest influences in his creative life were writers such as Ernest Hemingway and Stephen King, poets such as Ezra Pound and Robert Frost. But perhaps most importantly, the influence of screenwriter and creator of the highly-praised television series "The Twilight Zone," Rod Serling, impacted Karson's artistic mind to the highest degree. Karson's prime interests explore dark themes, psychologically-driven narratives, symbolism, and relatable, redeemable characters and plots. He is currently seeking literary and screenplay works that express such criteria. Karson currently pursues his Master's degree in Psychology with Liberty University, and he wishes you to know that he follows Jesus Christ, the one, true Way, unashamedly. |
Steven C McCullough
Steven was born in a small, rural town in northwest Tennessee. A childhood ripe with a vivid imagination foretold that he would one day find himself working within the broad field of creative arts.
Steven's greatest influences revolved around video games, anime, and the friends who shared in similar imagination. As iron sharpens iron, so Steven's mind was sharpened by his brothers in imaginary arms. As age pursued him, his interests evolved and he was found by Jesus Christ. The world opened to him that day, and ever since he has marked the moments where God has provided opportunities to expand on his creative talents. After publishing his first two novels, he joined forces with Karson Whatley and formed what is today QuickFire Talent Agency. Growing up and continuing to live in the Deep South, Steven saw firsthand the plight of the "Average Joes" and their creative minds gone to waste. With little opportunity and no encouragement to pursue the arts, many of these Joes were bound for forcefully unimaginative lifestyles. That set a fire ablaze in him to create a medium by which opportunity could be presented to even the least of the Joes. Steven graduated from Mid-Continent University with a degree in Entrepreneurial Business. He currently manages multiple businesses in his hometown of Montgomery, Alabama with his lovely wife, Ashley.
