The Dudes first crossed paths in Las Vegas, Nevada. Their humor and passion for the arts quickly bonded them in a friendship that would span decades. As they grew older, pursuing similar careers in teaching, they began to realize that they wanted bigger things—namely, to be film writers/directors.

In the years that followed, they pursued several ideas involving a couple movies, a TV show, and even a book, but nothing ever stuck until they listened to Kavinsky’s 2013 album OutRun. It inspired them to create an animated film based on the album. Now they spend their time making that film a reality, all while having as much fun as possible.
