Our Team

McKenzie Shea, Executive Producer

She has honed her craft with Lesly Kahn & Co in Los Angeles and Bob Krakower and The Wynn Handman Studio in New York. McKenzie has been performing since the age of six and takes great pride in her skills in text analysis, her intuitive approach to character development, and her use of the Socratic method to delve deep into any scene.

An advocate for the transformative power of the arts for social change, McKenzie’s lifelong ambition is to work on and produce stories led by women for mainstream audiences. She aspires to join the ranks of female writers and creators like Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Emerald Fennell, Reese Witherspoon and Shonda Rhimes, among others. McKenzie Co-founded and hosts a bi-monthly Creative Empowerment Group for Women encouraging other women to reach their potential as multi-hyphenates within the Entertainment industry.

A hiking, horseback-riding, book-loving force of nature, McKenzie has a profound love for animals, music, baking, coffee, staying active, and diving into great literature (though she frequently chooses audiobooks). When she’s not acting or producing, she enjoys spending quality time with her husband, their two children, and their chocolate lab, Ruby.

Andie Lemus, Executive Producer

Andie Lemus is an actor, writer, and filmmaker with a diverse background in stage, screen and voiceover. A graduate of Atlantic Acting School's Professional Conservatory, and a student of Lesly Kahn & Co., Andie has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival (Zounds!), provided voiceover for several radio plays (Algorithm and F*cking Sober), and has written and directed several projects for the stage as well as webisodes.

A champion of ambiguous and androgynous characters, Andie aims to bring more versatile perspectives to storytelling, highlighting the oftentimes ambivalent and deeply multifaceted nature of humanity to the fore. She believes in the transformative power of stories to create empathy by underscoring the interconnectedness of seemingly opposing voices and themes that surround us.

A supporter of shared success and the strength of community, Andie co-founded and hosts a bi-monthly Creative Empowerment Group for Women encouraging each other to reach their potential as multi-hyphenates within the entertainment industry. When not working on a creative project, Andie enjoys staying active in various sports, and satiating her curiosity with one of her beloved hobbies -- photography, traveling, cooking, baking, history, science, or tucking into a good book. By far her favorite way to spend time is with her wife, Allie.
