THE CREATORS
Erich Allan Foerster
Writer & Director
Erich is a storyteller by nature, yet a filmmaker by chance. Originally, Erich was an experienced martial artist with aspirations of entering the film industry as a fight choreographer. After meeting the rest of the Tall Tree team, Erich was inspired to dive into his talents for telling the stories that lived in his head. Since then he has been a paid screenwriter, directed more than a dozen indie films, and an award winning filmmaker.
Sarah Bernier
Director of Photography
When substance only takes a film so far, style elevates it to new heights. This is where Sarah comes in. Sarah grew up enthralled by stylistic cinema, but her passion didn't end with viewing films. From a young age, she has been practicing the art of filmmaking and even went as far as recreating entire feature films. But when shot-for-shot remakes no longer suppressed her appetite for creativity, she started creating her own visual masterpieces. Since then, she has become nationally recognized for her cinematography in film festivals.

camera dept & sfx makeup
Sam is one of the day one Tall Tree family members. Easily the most visually artistic member of the team, and this is proven not only by her wildly graphic and realistic makeup prosthetics but also by her ability behind a camera. If something requires outside-of-the-box thinking... Sam is your woman.

Picture editor
Tall Tree reached out to Marco back in 2022 to undertake "Wendigo" because his body of work made one thing crystal clear... Marco is a problem solver. He has demonstrated his extraordinary talent for visual storytelling on "Wedigo" (2022), "Blood of Ghent" (2023), "Repo Man" (TBD), and "Far From Blue Brick" (TBD). To call Marco an excellent editor, fixer, and collaborator does not do him justice.

Sound Designer/editor
Christian has time-and-time again told a story through sound design that the rest of the team never knew existed. Tall Tree has always worked with Christian because he takes chances. Some of the most integral and memorable moments in Tall Tree films come from his ability to hear the world from his mind and figure out how to put it to the screen.

actor & camera
For anyone who watches Tall Tree content, you'll see a lot of Jackson. Not only because he is a day-one family member of Tall Tree, but mainly because of his incredible performances in past and upcoming films. From comedic to psychotic, his range has yet to reach its limit. Audiences will soon find he is the face of Tall Tree's first 'featurette' film, "Repo Man" (TBD).

camera operator
Not only has Kyle been with Tall Tree since the beginning, but he is also among the most valuable people to have on set. Whenever there is a big production ahead of us, you best believe we call upon Kyle. Not only is he credited with being the cameraman on all of Tall Tree's biggest films, but he is also the heart of any production. Never has there been someone with the 'can do' attitude, skillset, and work ethic.
