Tori Laverman

Costumer
Tori Laverman is a self-taught artist from North-West Indiana who thrives when she is creating. Growing up in a lower-class family, she learned something that defines the world she works in: “limitations breed creativity.” Since the earlier years of school, she’s loved to draw and make messes of all calibers. With age came more and more resources and her work has spread to sculpting, painting, and pretty much anything else she can get her hands on. Learning as she works is a staple, and working for Rem has stretched her to create new things she’s only wished could come to life!

Sarah Krause

Executive Producer

Sarah fell in love with acting as a teen, when a little girl at the renaissance fair thought she was a real fairy. Since then, she escapes from the real world in books, gaming, and acting. In her free time, she also enjoys fencing, archery, learning new skills, and living new adventures.
Sarah created Rem Alternis in the Fall of 2019, out of the desire to share some of the stories she so loves. Chicago Shadows is her first production for Rem Alternis, and she’s excited to share the journey with the community.

Madison "Jack" Macklin

Editor

Madison Macklin is a producer of live events in Columbus, OH. On the side, she dabbles in directing, photography, editing (scripts, videos, thoughts, etc.), and getting angry about people who genuinely like the Transformers movies. She is currently hungry.

RT Falimirski

Marketing Media Coordinator
Aside from marketing and graphics design for Rem Alternis, RetryRT is quirky, enjoys long days playing video games, and dabbles in Adobe Creative Suite as much as possible. He has a wonderful wife who always supports him in whatever silly plan he comes up with. Last, but not least, RetryRT enjoys writing bios, as it is a socially acceptable way to talk about himself in the third person.

Thomas Augstein

Technologist

Tom is also known in the Shadows as Teslan Kierinhawk. Wait you don’t know who that is??? Well that suits him just fine as it’s the Shadows, folks. Tom has been involved with RPG’s and creative endeavors since the 1990s. He has been GMing Rolemaster, Dresden Files Accelerated and Shadowrun Missions, at conventions such as Gencon, Origins, and regional conventions since 2015. He primarily makes his scratch in Information Technology, but his true interest lies in building things. Hardware, software, websites, mechanical gizmos, or woodworking; it doesn’t matter – it’s all just pieces that need to get put together to do something.

Currently when he’s not working on Rem Alternis stuff he’s diving into the deep matrix exploring being a Technomancer.

Debra Schott

Costumer
Debra has been costuming for the past 20 years, but likes to point out that while others played with Barbies, she built homes and made clothes for her’s, so it’s really been a bit longer. She has to be creating something at all times. Her engineering career began at NASA where she learned how to push boundaries, then on to Star Wars intercept system. While raising her two boys she dabbled in politics, public relations, and fundraising before falling in love with every aspect of costuming. Her work on Overshadowed Theatrical Productions’ 2018 musical production of “A Tale of Two Cities” was nominated for Broadway.com’s Chicago area competition. After costuming, her passion is traveling the world.

Jason M. Hardy

Consultant

Jason M. Hardy is real. That much, he is sure of. He is not just a figment of some unknown being’s imagination, unless that’s what all of reality is, in which case, he’s in the same boat as everyone else, so he at least is no less real than them. He has worked in tabletop gaming for nearly twenty years, including almost a decade as Shadowrun line developer. He has published nine novels, dozens of short stories, and enough text about imaginary worlds to make him question his grasp on reality, which is kind of where this paragraph started.

Brandon Borgman

Props and Prosthetics Artist

Demons, Orcs, Alien Armor, Dragon Heads, Mechanical Skulls, Steampunk Weaponry, Zombies, and Severed Heads/Limbs are just a few of Brandon’s favorite projects from recent years.
Before creating Special FX and Props for use on film, Brandon’s background was primarily in Fine Arts Sculpting, 2D Drawing and Print Making, and 3D Metal and Wood Working. His love of movies goes back to his early childhood where he was fortunate enough to have parents who introduced him to movies like Willow, Star Wars, and the Dark Crystal. As he grew up watching Horror Movies like The Thing, Hellraiser, Lost Boys, and Interview with the Vampire, Brandon’s interest in Special FX grew.
With a focus on realism and detail, Brandon strives to create props and prosthetics that are increasingly believable and beautiful on camera. His belief is that the best Special Effects are often the ones that the audience doesn’t realize they’re looking at. Suspending the disbelief of the audience to create truly amazing or terrifying moments is what drives Brandon’s Special FX and Prop making ambitions, and he is honored and excited to be working with Rem Alternis Productions.
