Founder of Two Thousand Word Pictures®, a production company serving as a banner for insightful stories that revolve around the human condition amid the modern world's most existential issues, Ashton Alexander Webb believes with all his being in the mass urgency of the messages he has to communicate to humanity through the medium of story.
In a world where a cinema of escapist spectacle has become the dominant mode of our culture's artistic consumption, rather than emulate what is successful, he strives to mold stories that effectively serve as blinking red dots of alarm(in the spirit of the morality tales from our tribal ancestors warning us of dangers) in an ever-expanding sea of white noise.
For, as he believes that the largely vapid state of cinema today is just as much a cause as a symptom of our society's decay, he chooses to devote his storytelling strengths to what he calls a cinema of in-escapism; a cinema of restoration to heal the damage that is a habitual turning away from our world's increasingly dire problems which is perpetuated by an oligarchy of numbing entertainment. Problems that all of us should be looking at ourselves to fix collectively, provoked by stories that ultimately rejuvenate humanity's will to power by reflecting its horrific shortcomings back onto it & reminding us all that we as a people must stop looking the other way as our children's future inches towards a cliff's edge.
The fact of the matter is, he sees this Earth in crisis from multiple angles; nuclear annihilation, climate change, U.S. imperialist terrorism, epidemic nihilism & multiple other implications of the timeless destructive temptations in humanity, & rather than distracting people from all this, it's shining a profound light through the prism of philosophically impactful stories on these crises that has become the defining aspect of his career as a visual storyteller, in a way that is unique to his sensibilities.- Ole Blegel was born on 24 April 1922 in Hörup, Skåne län, Sweden.

- Todd Jones was born on 24 April 1968 in Marietta, Georgia, USA. He is married to Michelle. They have two children.
- Jazz saxophonist and composer Joe Henderson could best be described as a renaissance man. Creating a style unique from the dominant saxophonists of his early career -- namely John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins -- Henderson became the consummate sideman. He recorded with Herbie Hancock and Andrew Hill. He briefly played with the legendary Miles Davis and from 1964 to 1966 he played with the quintet led by composer-pianist Horace Silver. In later years he tested different musical waters, playing with the rock group Blood Sweat & Tears.
His musical career began while he was a student at Kentucky State College and Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. After a brief period in the army from 1960 to 1962 he joined the Blue Note Records label and in the late 1970s he recorded several albums for Milestone Records. Never completely out of vogue, he enjoyed a resurgence in popularity in the 1990s after a series of critically and popularly acclaimed albums that included an Antonio Carlos Jobim tribute called "Double Rainbow" and "So Near, So Far (Musings for Miles)", dedicated to Miles Davis. A master of composition, his songs "Recorda Me" and "Inner Urge" have become jazz classics. A long battle with emphysema and a stroke in 1998 stopped Henderson's public career, but his legacy and career that spanned over four decades has left a permanent prototype for others to follow. - Alexandra Legat was born on 24 April 1966 in Wäschenbeuren, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. She has been married to Thorsten Legat since 1996. They have two children.

Louis "Lou" Lenart has been the IDF coordinator for several motion pictures, including the first two Iron Eagle films; the first of which he was also the associate producer. But Lou Lenart is perhaps best known as the Check Yeager of the Israeli Air Force. After serving as a Corsair pilot in the Pacific during WWII, Major Lenart left the Marine Corps. and, in 1948, became one of the founders of the IAF, one of the world's most respected and successful air forces.
Lenart, and other pilots, went to Czechoslovakia to learn to fly the Avia S-199 Mezec (Mule), a Czech-built version of the WWII Messerschmitt ME-109. On 14 May 1948, Israel declared independence and was immediately besieged by neighboring nations. The Mules were quickly taken apart, airlifted to Israel, and then reassembled. On 29 May, Lenart, and three other pilots, each with less than two hours in the fighter, launched at dusk to attack an Egyptian force of 10,000 troops supported by tanks and artillery at Ashdod, only 16 miles south of Tel Aviv.
The Israeli's untested aircraft, armed only with 20-millimeter cannons and 70 kilogram bombs, made history when the Egyptians, confused by the "secret air force," halted their offensive, dug in, and later retreated. One Mezec was lost in the attack and another was damaged beyond repair. Although Lenart flew other missions, he used his WWII experience and served on the southern front as an "air controller."
After the war, he participated in an operation to rescue Iraqi Jews and bring them to Israel. A man of many talents, he flew for EL AL, Israel's national airline, conducted aerial mapping missions over the jungles of Central America, and was a producer the major motion picture, Iron Eagle. Lenart was General Manager of the San Diego Clippers of the National Basketball Association in the early 1980s. He later returned to live in Israel. At the time this mini-biography was written he is active as a lecturer.- Alan Perl was born on 24 April 1934 in Los Angeles, California, USA. He was an actor, known for The Toy Wife (1938).
