About Sandra Seeling
I am Sandra, an actress, filmmaker, entrepreneur and I need to do it all to be happy. I love to create projects that I am truly passionate about, there is no greater thrill and satisfaction. I thrive to work with people who share my obsession of acting, producing and directing. I am all about sharing great ideas AND making them happen. In 2011 "just" making movies and acting wasn't enough for my already full plate, so I followed my heart and created an International Film Festival in my home town of Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Mallorca is a beautiful island in the Mediterranean and it just felt right do 'go for it' and see what happens. Since the first festival in 2012, Evolution has grown every year at a pace i could have never imagined. Embraced by the European and International independent movie scene it has flourishing in all aspects, becoming the new hip film event for innovative and provocative upcoming creative filmmakers from all around the world.

About Lee Hulme
You’ll mostly find Lee hiding out in whichever fictional world they’re writing about or playing games in. They’ll usually be hopped up on caffeine and talking at twice the normal speed of most humans. When not tied to the computer, they’ll be walking, reading, probably not far from coffee or alcohol, and often chatting to total strangers just because they can. At any given moment they’ll be working on at least one new book and/or short stories, producing fun things with 8 Sided Films, learning about the indie film industry that they somehow fell into entirely by accident, diving headfirst into any other fun projects they get the chance to do and occasionally remembering to have a social life. Their reputation for never sleeping is often well-deserved, but they do need to recharge their energy source every so often by only doing 2 things at once, instead of 5.
