Zeb Haradon was born in Corning, NY, and attended college at the University of Buffalo. After graduating in 1999, he accidentally moved to Utah. Shortly after arriving, he wrote the script for Elevator Movie. Elevator Movie is loosely based on a two page story he had written in 1996. He has also directed a documentary, Waiting for NESARA with his wife, Elisa. He currently lives in Seattle and can be contacted here.

Thematic inspiration for the film comes from Waiting for Godot, the films of Luis Buñuel, the early work of David Lynch, including Eraserhead.

Robin Ballard, who plans Lana in the film, has worked in film under the direction of Danny Glover, Mark Dippé, and Sanford Bookstaver, and in theatre under the direction of Neil LaBute and Academy Award winner Tad Z. Danielewski. Robin studied improv at the Groundlings Theater in L.A. and Shakespeare with Chris Hayes. Robin grew up a good Mormon girl and lived in California, Hawaii, and the Bahamas. She attended boarding school in Switzerland (where her parents thought she would be safe from the evils of the opposite sex) and then went on to Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. She currently lives in Salt Lake City and is not a polygamist.
