Jessica McNamee - BIO: JESSICA McNAMEE (Sonya Blade) is one of Hollywood’s most sought after and engaging talents. Since beginning her career in acting, she has fostered an impressive body of work that includes both film and television.
McNamee most recently starred in the critically acclaimed film “Battle of The Sexes,” opposite silver screen heavy weights Emma Stone and Steve Carell. The film is based on the Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs tennis championship. McNamee starred as famous tennis player Margaret Court, who was the No. 1 tennis player in history at the time and lost a heavily publicized and U.S.-televised challenge match to a former World No. 1 male tennis player, the 55-year-old Bobby Riggs, played by Carell. This ultimately led to Billie Jean King, played by Stone, competing in the “Battle of the Sexes” tournament against Riggs.
McNamee was also seen in the sci-fi thriller “The Meg.” The film follows an expert deep-sea diver who stumbles upon a legendary marine predator lying dormant at the bottom of the ocean. McNamee starred opposite Jason Statham and Ruby Rose in the action packed film.
McNamee also starred opposite Michael Peña and Dax Shepard in the comedy “CHIPs,” the adaptation of the TV show of the same name. The film centers around the adventures of two California Highway Patrol motorcycle officers as they make their rounds on the freeways of Los Angeles. Her other tv/film credits include USA’s comedy TV series “Sirens,” created by Denis Leary, and “The Vow,” starring opposite Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum.

Josh Lawson - BIO: JOSH LAWSON (Kano) is an Academy Award-nominated screenwriter, a director, producer, and actor who has portrayed a hardened criminal, a delusional patient of a psychiatrist, and a Harvard graduate who specializes in numerical analysis, bringing captivating characters and compelling projects to life on screen for over a decade, solidifying himself as one to watch as not only an actor, but as a filmmaker.
This year Lawson will return to comedy in the indie feature “Long Story Short.” The film, which Lawson penned, directed, and stars in, tells the story of a man named Teddy who wakes up the morning after his wedding to discover that every few minutes he’s jumping forward to the next year of his life. “Long Story Short” debuted in Australia on February 11, 2021. Lawson will also star opposite Simon Baker and Yael Stone in the upcoming drama “Blaze,” which is currently in post-production.
An accomplished writer and director, in 2018 Lawson was nominated for his first Academy Award in the Best Live-Action Short Film category for “The Eleven O’Clock.” The short film, which Lawson directed, wrote, and starred in, entertained audiences as they watched a delusional patient of a psychiatrist believing he is actually the psychiatrist. The film spent nearly two years screening at festivals, gaining traction and rave reviews while showcasing Lawson’s unique brand of comedy.
In 2014, Lawson made his directorial debut with “The Little Death,” which he also wrote and starred in. The film, which tells the story of the secret lives of five suburban couples living in Sydney, was met with critical acclaim, winning the Audience Award, Narrative Spotlight at the 2015 SXSW Film Festival, the Audience Award, Open Horizons at the Thessaloniki Film Festival, and procured dozens of nominations at the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) Awards, the Australian Film Critics Association Awards, the Australian Writers Guild, the Film Critics Circle of Australia Awards, and The São Paulo International Film Festival.
