Our Producing Team

John Dorsey - Executive Producer

JOHN DORSEY IV was born in Northern Virginia to a failed magician and a successful businesswoman. He spent the majority of his childhood reading comics under trees until he grew up and tried to make it into his living. Instead he wound up with a film degree and has worked within “The Industry” for the past ten years. He lives in Arlington with his wife Brenna and their dog Spencer. On SPR he plays the role of Ethan Schwartz.

Maximilian Clark - Executive Producer

MAXIMILIAN CLARK has dedicated his life to creating soulful art that strips society bare to its core and to writing “guy getting hit in the nuts” skits for his little comedy friends. He co-created and wrote the Starz Digital Series “Llama Cop” and his projects have been official selections at the Just for Laughs festival in Montreal, ITVFest, and dozens of others. His own mother once described his collective works as “Not bad.”

Brendan Sokler - Producer

BRENDAN SOKLER is an AEA/SAG-AFTRA actor in New York City. When not producing his own work through Punching Up Productions he can usually be found on the stages of The Pearl, The Pit, The Brick, The Flea...and many other theatres starting with the word “The.” At The Flea he was the associate producer of the late night theatrical competition known as Serials and also acted in a Joel Shumacher helmed Neighborhood 3. When asked what Justice League member he thought Brendan would be good to play he said Green Lantern, but everyone else has said Flash. Brendan handles people the way master chefs handle a fine risotto: carefully and to the ire of Gordon Ramsey.
