When he was young, Saul's mom took him to Disney to find out how to become a disney animator, and it was there that he found the first steps of the recipe to create his dream of becoming a Disney animator. Testing out the process, Saul decided to apply to Disney. When he got the rejection letter, he was just so happy that they knew his name and knew he was alive. After both him and his best friend Andy applied, Saul's second time, Andy got the call back and got the internship. Saul didn't make it, so he called up the head of Disney and asked the million dollar question, "Why didn't I get in?". He then got the next steps of the recipe that he needed. He exceeded expectations. Then, the day arrived, Saul got the call. He got into Disney!Saul Blinkoff is a Hollywood filmmaker who has worked for many high profile clients including; THE WALT DISNEY STUDIOS, NETFLIX and AMAZON.

Grace Lu is someone I've known for a few years through the work of my husband, voiceover actor JP Karliak. Grace Lu is a graduate of Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach, CA, and is currently a rising sophomore at UCLA (Go Bruins!) studying Psychology. And while a full time student, Grace has been navigating a robust and full professional life in both on-camera and voice over capacities here in Los Angeles. Grace is currently a recurring role of Megan in Bunk'd on Disney Channel, and it was recently announced that Grace is the voicing the role of Shining Glitter Cookie on the video game Cookie Run: Kingdom. Grace's voice can also be heard on Transformers: EarthSpark; Madagascar: A Little Wild; and the video game Legends of Runeterra. On screen, Grace has been seen in Sydney to the Max, Side Hustle and (thrilling to my MT nerd-dom) Grace is featured in the You Will Be Found montage of the film of Dear Evan Hansen. (There are several video game and animation projects in the works that Grace is super excited about and hope to be able to share soon!)Grace started acting in elementary/middle school musical theater productions in Carlsbad, California! Grace has always loved anything artistic, and can be found always drawing, creative writing (mostly poetry!), songwriting, and singing or jamming out with her brother. Learning about environmental issues and scientific discoveries and advocating for more diverse and inclusive education is also a big passion of hers.On a personal note, I am so impressed with a young professional actor like Grace - who continually balances the many pressures of a full-tilt adult professional work life, with the developmental and exploratory experiences of college life. Showing us all, there is no ONE way to approach a life as a student and an actor.
