Ed Woody
(Rick McCallum, Co-Director, Co-Producer, Co-Writer)

Ed Woody is the technical thinker powerhouse of the outfit. When a system was called for that would give us a portable blue/greenscreen for compositing, Ed didn't even ask questions: he just whipped it up out of a few supplies from Wal-Mart and Home Depot! The "W" in the name "KWerky", Ed was the first one that Chris approached to help him make Forcery: since from the days they were students and roommates at Elon College (now Elon University) they had long talked about some kind of collaboration. Originally hailing from the mountains of western North Carolina, Ed received a degree in Communications from Elon and presently is the webmaster for several high-profile clients of a prestigious marketing firm. Previously Ed has been a volunteer firefighter: something that came in VERY handy during Forcery's filming because of all the fires that were called for. Ed is also one of the world's foremost experts in all things regarding "Weird Al" Yankovic (How big a fan is he of Al? He's got a pristine copy of The Authorized Al and if you know how hard that is to find THAT'll tell ya something). A talented actor, Ed had done community theatre for several years in his hometown including productions of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and Alice in Wonderland. In addition to co-directing, co-writing and co-producing Forcery, Ed also has the role of Star Wars producer Rick McCallum. And as of April 2005 we are delighted to report that Ed is an engaged man who will shortly be taking on a "spousal overunit" of his very own!
