Head of Animation / Co-Founder
Evan Sussman founded Hero 4 Hire Creative in 2010. He is the Co-Creator and Executive Producer of the twice Emmy nominated PBS Kids Go! web series, Fizzy's Lunchlab. LunchLab.com has had over 2.3 million unique visitors and 14 million page views.
Evan is the winner of several prestigious awards. The short he animated and composited won the Grand Prize for Current TV's 60 Second to Save the Earth Contest. Al Gore featured this winning PSA at the TED global warming presentation. His original short Escape was a finalist in the Doorpost Film Project and was awarded a cash prize.
Evan has directed commercials for Legal Sea Foods and Seventh Generation and original segments for PBS's Emmy Award Winning series Between The Lions. He developed his superpowers working on series ranging from Word Girl for PBS to Assy McGee for Adult Swim. Disguised as an Animator, Designer and Director, Evan is stronger than an after effects render engine.
Executive Producer
Allison Dressler Kramer has been working in network television for over ten years.
She began her career at Cartoon Network in Atlanta moving up the ranks to Senior Producer. After five years, she trekked to Manhattan where she worked as an Executive Producer at Nickelodeon. Then as courtTV's Director of Sales Promotions she executive produced the show Saturday Night Solution and helped to rebrand the network to truTV. The new "actuality" network promoted her to Senior Director of Creative Services and she created and executed integrated marketing campaigns and launched new shows.
In her mild-mannered former life, she performed as a character at The Magic Kingdom and earned a Ducktorate Degree from Disney University.
Technical Director
Adrian Garcia grew up in Monterrey, Mexico where he performed as a magician and became interested in special effects and music. He plays bass, piano and guitar and is passionate about film scoring and arranging. In high school he took up computer programming and developed the rhyming software Lyricmaker.
Adrian brought his talents to Massachusetts College of Art and Design where Evan Sussman took note and recruited him as Hero 4 Hire Creative's first animator. Adrian's specialty is bridging the gap between music and animation and his superpowers are known throughout the universe.
His animated shorts tour the international festival circuit and have appeared in countries such as Canada and Brazil. He is the winner of heroic awards including the 2010 Animazing Spotlight for Best Animation Technique and the 2011 Golden Pencil Award for 2D or not 2D.

Editor / Animator
Fade in from black: Shot of man from torso up clutching a note in his left hand, on a clear and brilliantly lit dawn. Camera slowly pans out and upward to reveal he is standing on the precipice of an incredibly vast ravine that has been set ablaze in the morning light.
A violent wind blows, whipping the man's loose fitting clothing around his scrawny frame, threatening to pick him up and throw him into the fiery abyss. He takes a deep breath and releases the battered and crumbled note.
The camera follows the note in its floating descent into the canyon as it is dashed about the jagged rocks of the cliff's edge. A hawk passes by, sending the note twirling and twisting. Aaron Copland's "The Heiress Suite" can be heard faintly, slowly building to a crescendo. Finally the note lands softly to the ground revealing a single sentence: "This is John Moreland".
