Michael Nankin was born in Los Angeles to a family of medical practitioners. His mother, Natalie, started the first tissue-typing laboratory in LA and was a pioneer in organ transplantation. A standard-8 movie camera was placed in his hands when he was 10 years old by his grandfather. Michael made films through his childhood but started his career as an illustrator and animator. He won the Jim Morrison Award when he was a film student at UCLA. His undergraduate film, JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL, a musical-comedy, caught the attention of Disney studios who hired Michael and his filmmaking partner, David Wechter, to develop features. He was on the payroll of the studio two months after graduating college. At age 22, Michael co-wrote and co-directed the feature MIDNIGHT MADNESS which was released in 1980. He worked in features as a screenwriter (including writing THE GATE, which was the highest-grossing Canadian-produced feature ever at the time) until 1989, when he joined the staff of LIFE GOES ON--a show that dealt with down syndrome and, in its final two years, was the first network show with an HIV-positive continuing character. LIFE GOES ON was also the first show to publicly hire HIV-positive actors. He has worked in episodic television since that time, as a director, writer and executive producer. His television projects include: PICKET FENCES, CHICAGO HOPE, EARLY EDITION, ROAR, COVER ME, STRONG MEDICINE, THE AGENCY, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, HEROES, FLASHFORWARD, DEFIANCE, LIE TO ME, CSI, HELL ON WHEELS, BLACK SAILS. He has a Peabody Award and two Humanitas Prizes hanging on his wall. He is married to Liz Nankin, a costume designer and has three children.- Director

Wayne Rose was born in Red Deer, Canada of mixed heritage (First Nation/Native American, Ojibwe), growing up on the family farm in rural Alberta. After graduating from the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, Wayne began his film and television career in Vancouver, working his way up through the ranks - storyboard artist, stunt performer, actor, assistant director and production manager - always with the goal to direct and produce. It wasn't long before he found himself in New Zealand directing full time 2nd Units on the action/FX heavy series, Hercules - The Legendary Journeys and Xena - Warrior Princess. He has since gone on to direct episodes of hit shows such as Smallville, The 100 and Battlestar Galactica.
Battlestar Galactica's "Blood on the Scales", directed by Wayne was named by TV Guide Magazine in June of 2009, one of the Top 100 Television Episodes of All Time. Coming in at Number 43, it was the only episode of the iconic show to be named. Several of Wayne's other Battlestar Galactica projects have been nominated for awards, with his "Razor Flashback Featurette - Free Fall" winning the 2008 Emmy Award for "Outstanding Special Class-Short Format Live-Action Entertainment Program" and his Battlestar Galactica - "Face of the Enemy" Web Series being awarded the 2009 Streamy Award for Best Dramatic Web Series. He is also a recipient of the 2005 George Foster Peabody Award (Significant and Meritorious Achievement in Broadcasting and Cable).
Wayne's work ethic and sense of adventure has taken him across the globe, working extensively across Canada, the U.S., New Zealand (where he obtained his New Zealand citizenship, enabling him to work in both New Zealand and Australia), in Qatar, where he produced and directed the first ever international sci-fi/fantasy television series from the Middle East, Medinah, in Thailand and Italy with Blood and Treasure for CBS and most recently back in Thailand directing the "young adult" series, The Ocean Eyes. Wayne is a member of both the Directors Guild of America and the Directors Guild of Canada. He lives in Los Angeles and holds three passports - U.S., Canada and New Zealand.
