THE PLAYERS

Sean Flanagan – Filmmaker

Sean Flanagan emigrated from Dublin to the Unites States in the winter of his third year and grew up in Howell, NJ. Well liked by his peers and retaining his accent for no apparent reason. After graduating from college and finding no available gainful employment he found his true calling as a pastry chef, making some of the most unique desserts imaginable in an upscale Philadelphia restaurant which did now allow us to use its name here. It was there that he realized his actual true calling and went into documentary film work after meeting Michael and Shawn. Subbing David Cross is his labor of love and he hopes that the audience gets as much out of it as he did.

Michael Mizov – Character Subject

Michael Mizov was born and raised in Manville, New Jersey and graduated from Manville High School in 2000 and heading off to Philadelphia for fame and fortune. Both eluded him in his four years at Philadelphia University where he majored in Biology with aspirations to become a doctor. His dreams lead him to Temple Medical School which he left after eight months citing “irreconcilable differences.” He then changed his life’s direction and became a professional amateur writer where fame and fortune, unfortunately, still eluded him. Michael hopes that telling his story through Sean will give him the break he so desperately needs because, “these damn bills aren’t paying themselves.”

Shawn Erickson – Character Subject

Shawn Erickson grew up in Manville, New Jersey where he and Michael became friends. He graduated from Manville High School in 2000 and stayed put, going to Raritan Valley Community College for several years before transferring to Drexel University to pursue his studies in English. Being able to speak English has been a boon for Shawn’s academic studies as he has been on the dean’s list every term in his half a decade baccalaureate career, except for math which he calls “Satan’s numbers game.” Hoping to one day live in the woods and write diatribes on life, Shawn holds true to his beliefs and has teamed up with Sean to bring his story into the lives of all people.
