The film stars Martin Kove (The Karate Kid, Cagney & Lacey, Rambo: First Blood Part II) and Christopher Atkins (The Blue Lagoon, TV's Dallas, the cult favorite The Pirate Movie). Jon Firestone developed and taught the 3D graphics program at the Colorado Film School and works as a freelance director and cinematographer when he is not pursuing his other passion as a Visual FX Supervisor and Animator.
