Chloe is so proud to be working on this film and to be bringing people like herself and her friends onto a screen. After writing a novel, she has written and directed her own psychological thriller/drama short film in the past and has assisted in writing and directing three other shorts across various genres. Currently, she is a Cinema and Media Studies major at the University of Washington and the lead intern of the Seattle Jewish Film Festival. In the future, she wants to aid in the re-emerging Seattle film scene and continue making films on a greater scale that center stories of women and the LGBTQ+ community.

Zoey has always loved storytelling in all its forms. Writing and art are two of her passions, and she's always looking for places where story and visuals intersect and bring out the most in each other- an action that is especially present in comics and film. She is excited to be involved with projects like this one because not only does she get to experience the artistic process of storyboard and bringing script to screen, but it is also a story personally significant to her as a part of the LGBTQ+ community. She can see that it is also really important to other members of the crew as well, and it feels pretty special. In the future she hopes to continue making films and other stories like this one and meeting others that share the same passions as her!

Jay is a story addict. She's fascinated by narratives — especially narratives that aren't often explored.

Jada Godwin is a Seattle-based videographer and journalist with a love of narrative film. Most recently they shot the documentary BERTHA BABY, which focuses on a non-binary drag queen finding community after escaping their childhood Christian cult, and several narrative short films with LUX, UW’s filmmaking club. It was there that they were approached by Chloe Nolan to produce this film, and also where many members of this crew were discovered. An officer of LUX’s operations department, videographer with UW’s The Daily, and Filmmaker Liaison for the Walla Walla Movie Crush, Jada has made it their mission to meet the people in the industry they hope to drag into their projects in the future. Currently they are working on writing a limited series featuring two queer siblings and co-writing a short narrative film for the upcoming LUX production quarter.

Gurjot is excited to help out on the Hidden Violets film as a PA. She's very excited to be a part of a project that aims to show positive and healthy examples of queer, especially sapphic representation on screen! In the past, she's worked for her college's newspaper and MediaLab organization for a couple years. She's a recent graduate from Pacific Lutheran University, double majoring in Film and Media Studies (Communication) and Politics and Government. The last project she worked on was a short documentary on hate crimes against the Sikh American community since 9/11 and the activists/organizations taking a stand, titled "A Faith Misrepresented: Sikhs in America." She's excited to work on more projects and create art that sheds light on the social issues she cares so deeply about, such as South Asian and queer representation, womxn's rights, and environmental justice.
