Rob Hache's past is varied and exciting. An accomplished world traveler, Rob speaks three languages fluently and can get around in another two. With only two television stations available in his rural home in New Hampshire, Rob had to find other interests as a child. He learned to rock climb, canoe, and play ice hockey, and he joined the ski team at his high school, where he became an accomplished ski jumper. After studying and traveling in Germany for two years, Rob attended Plymouth State College in New Hampshire, where he graduated cum laude with a degree in philosophy. In 1993, he drove across the country to Los Angeles to keep a friend company on the drive. He liked Venice Beach so much he decided to stay...until now. Rob has worked in almost every aspect of the entertainment business: as a writer (The Big Stuff), sound editor (Rugrats, Rocket Power, Duckman) and art director (Puzzled), but he is first and foremost a cinematographer. His "Director of Photography" credits include Other Desert Cities and the music videos Vulcan and Take It Outside. Emily Hache has a passion for beauty in all of its forms: music, art, crafts, good food and drink, and the natural world. Emily was born and raised in the heart of the Midwest, where she developed a love of storytelling and theater. After graduating from Northwestern University with a theater major, she produced plays in Chicago. In 1993, she moved to Los Angeles, where she pursued her career as a development executive until being convinced to move into a 1977 GMC motor home named Murray.
