Jeremy Hunter Rubingh is a filmmaker, writer, artist, nature advocate, and Alaska commercial fisherman. He believes that we can fight evil by making art. He has worked at the nexus of creative storytelling, conservation, and politics for much of his career, developing campaigns, media strategy, and diverse voice engagement on a variety of environmental and social justice issues for various foundations.

Jeremy currently lives aboard his sailboat, S/V Raven, in Seattle, Washington where he feels lucky to connect with the Salish Sea, old growth forests, and the snow-covered volcanoes of the Coast Mountains. Andrew Steers is an illustrator, teacher, and sailor. He lives aboard his sailboat with his lovely wife and goofy dog, just across the dock from Jeremy. Savannah LeCornu is an indigenous artist, part of the Tsimshian, Haida, and Nez Perce tribes. She lives with her cat, Spaghetti, in Ketchikan AK, where she loves to hunt for beach treasures.
