Jeff Corpening
Jeff graduated cum laude with a B.F.A. in Motion Picture Production and Sociology, and has over 20 years
of professional video industry experience. His work as director, writer, editor and camera operator has
been featured on PBS, network affiliates and national cable outlets. His previous short film
The Library
won both a Finalist Award from the WorldFest Houston competition and a Silver Telly Award. In his award-winning
feature-length screenplay
Steve,
Jeff was lauded by the Red Inkworks script competition judges “for breathing life and dimension into the
character of ordinary people in crises." Jeff is a husband, and father to two wonderful children and five
obnoxious yet adorable cats. His greatest regret is having failed in his quest never to own a cellular phone.

Greg Cooper
Greg is an accomplished veteran of the broadcast industry with nearly 20 years' experience in radio and
television/video production. Between his professional training and his self-taught producing skills, Greg
stands out for being driven and committed to the highest quality productions. Greg has produced a wide
variety of television and radio programming for local and national outlets, and is actively developing
several television concepts. He's also one heck of a talented voice over artist. At least that's what he
says on his voice over demo.

Melissa Zenz
Though working almost exclusively behind the scenes as our financial manager, Melissa is crucial in keeping
things running smoothly. Having founded and operated her own successful retail business, she is highly
qualified to manage the accounting and legal affairs of Beanfilms. Though she may sound like someone who is
all figures and files, she is in fact our original muse. Melissa has recently rediscovered her dog-lover's
heart, adopting two wonderful new children, Anastaisia and Gidget, from the animal shelter.

James Corpening
James was trained as a research scientist in psychology and behavioral neuroscience, in which he
earned his Ph.D. He has worked with Beanfilms
on several projects, and has an astute eye for detail. For that reason, he is our Assistant Vice Deputy
Producer, responsible for various behind-the-scenes business matters. He is a bit behind this millenium,
though; unlike Jeff, he still doesn't own a cell phone, and, unlike Jeff, he thinks movies are still made on
celluloid, and he doesn't pay for cable or satellite TV.
