Since his arrival in Los Angeles, from Connecticut Michael Rotman has contributed his writing skills and sharp humor to such critically acclaimed programs as "South Park", "Later with Greg Kinnear", and "Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher", for which he received an Emmy nomination in 1997 for Outstanding Writing in a Variety or Music Program. Rotman, a Syracuse University alumni and Emerson College Graduate School alum is currently head writer for "Strip Poker", a new game/variety show for USA Broadcasting. "The Oz Witch Project" marks Rotman's debut as a director, which he hopes to continue to persue in films and music videos.
Rotman has three simple dreams in life; that the Red Sox win the World Series, that his Hartford Whalers move back to Connecticut, and that the hockey gods one day make Peter Karmanos, Gary Bettman and Governor John Rowland suffer for the attrocities they have commited against Hartford Whaler Hockey fans.
Meredith Salenger - Dorothy
Meredith was born and raised in Malibu, California. She began her acting career at the age of eight when the director, John Huston discovered her and placed her in the feature film, "Annie." Her breakthrough performance came when she landed her first major role starring as the lead character in Disney's, "The Journey of Natty Gann" with John Cusack. Her role in that film earned her the award 'Best Actress in a dramatic feature film' in the "Youth in Film awards." She continued her success acting in the films: "A Night in the life of Jimmy Reardon" with River Phoenix; "Dream a Little Dream, "The Kiss," and "Village of the Damned."

Meredith returned to California and resumed her acting carrer and this year appeared opposite Oliver Platt in David E. Kelley's, "Lake Placid." She continues to do feature films and television shows and we are very pleased that she could be part of our little indie short film, "The Oz Witch Project" as Dorothy. (She made us say this)

Corey was born and raised on the mean streets of suburban Connecticut. After enduring countless traumatic adolescent episodes, he fled to the University of Miami, where he occasionally studied film production. He now resides on a mean street in Burbank, California, where he writes incredibly high-budget science fiction. He would not be utterly opposed to the idea of working for you
Chris Ridenhour - Web Design
Chris is from a nice little town in Virginia called Roanoke. After passing on those Yahoo stock options, and being short 1 number on a 10 milliion dollar lottery, he decided to move out to L.A. and try his luck in the film music biz.
