The BlueLife script was an Austin Film Festival semi-finalist. It received a staged reading at the Festival where it was roundly praised. The creators Mark Vashro and Kenneth Heaton both have lengthy experience in stage and film. Mark produced the short film Thunder Road, which won the Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize, and his bicycling documentary Bike Against the Wind earned him top honors as Best Director at the Boise Film Festival. Mark is also a well-known Bay Area actor, having appeared in numerous stage productions. Ken’s play The Ontological Detective was produced off-Broadway, and his Mustard Seed won the Southern Playwrights Competition. As an actor, Heaton has appeared in the Academy Award-nominated short, The Letter Room, and on Hulu’s Chance. Both Vashro and Heaton play roles in BlueLife.
