(DOP)

Head of Tech and Marketing at Loud Vision Ltd., has worked tirelessly to ensure the fantastic sound and logistical elements of Rise of Fizzy Pop were executed to the highest standard. Kirsty originally was the only female professional cobbler in the UK, crafting bespoke shoes for influential people such as actor Micheal Kane and Stephen Hawken, and many more. Kirsty’s step into film was alongside Robert Nek. This is where Kirsty found her true calling. Doctors had always told Kirsty that her hearing range is far greater than the average human ability, so sound production, she felt, was a natural next step in her career.

Gila has wowed the Fizzy team to the moon and back with her fabulous wigs and costumes. Without her, Fizzy’s eclectic outfits would pale in comparison. Gila is tremendously excited to progress with the next chapter of Rise Of Fizzy Pop.
Mikey MacKay, musician/actor, and graduate of Stratford College, is very excited to be working with the Fizzy team. Mikey has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in productions including The Picture of Dorian Gray, Dracula, Edward II, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, amongst several original productions. Bending over backwards as prop master and set organiser Mikey has done everything from building the discarded ‘lyrics pile’ to finding Fizzy’s magic pen! Mikey also plays lead guitar in the infamous ‘Battle of the Bands,’ scene in Rise of Fizzy Pop.
