ELITIA DANIELS
Writer + Director + Co-Producer
Elitia Daniels is an actor, writer, and director from the San Francisco Bay Area, currently living in Atlanta, GA. She’s always been a storyteller fascinated with the human condition, so instead of becoming a therapist, she became an actor.
In between driving to auditions, Elitia performed in black box and regional theaters around Los Angeles. Favorite appearances include Coney Island Christmas (Ensemble at Geffen Playhouse), How I Learned to Drive (Lil’Bit at Illyrian Players, and What of the Night (Greta/Lorraine at The Vagrancy Theatre Co.). Onscreen highlights include The Big Door Prize (Apple TV), Bosch (Amazon), and Catfish (yes, that Catfish on MTV). You might also catch her running around with dogs in a national dog treat commercial.
Elitia graduated from Theatre from the School of Theatre Film and Television at UCLA with a BA in theatre and all the residual trauma that comes with art school. (That’s how she met Kate!) She’s also pretended to be at Hogwarts during a summer studying at the British American Drama Academy and pretended to be Amy Poehler taking classes with the Upright Citizens Brigade in Los Angeles.
Elitia likes to think her entrepreneurial career began when she co-founded a children’s Shakespeare company at the age of 12. Since then she has co-created multiple projects, including a live collaboration with the Venice Symphony Orchestra, Happy Hour, which enjoyed a sold-out run at the Hollywood Fringe Festival, LifeBites (Indie Shorts Fest finalist), and a mini web series The Cable Co..
Since moving to Atlanta, GA, Elitia has worked behind the scenes as a director and producer assistant on both seasons of The Big Door Prize (Apple TV+) and Underdogs (MGM/Amazon). When she’s not making billions of dollars acting, you can catch her on the marketing side of things, running Smitten - your new BFF in digital marketing.

During her 7-year term at The Road, she worked with some of the most talented playwrights from all over the country to develop new plays for the American theatre.

She now collaborates on several music projects across a wide range of styles including; Alternative Pop, Folk, Americana, Roots, and Rock.

Kate earned her BA in Theatre from UCLA’s School of Theatre Film and Television. She completed advanced improvisation and comedy training at the famed Groundlings School in LA, and is a graduate of the 2-Year Meisner Conservatory at the Baron Brown Studio.
In 2020 Kate founded wonderwell creative: an interdisciplinary creative studio and community in an effort to explore the connection between creativity and wellbeing.

WESLEY FLOWERS
Musician + Composer + Music Director
_edited.jpg)
Born in Griffin, GA, Wesley Flowers began learning the art of pop music with friends in garages and county fairs. Flowers got the bug for performing in his friends Jed Cornelison & Ryan Wilson’s high school band, ReFill.
Next, Wesley convinced his mentor, Mike Williamson, to form The
Californias - Williamson’s dream pop guitar band. The two spent month
after month writing, crafting and arranging - trying to create perfect pop masterpieces, for better or worse. Modeling themselves on
Jellyfish, The Beach Boys, Weezer and The Beatles, the group had some
local touring success, crossing paths with The Explorers Club (future
Williamson collaborator), Bleu, and Jason Faulkner. After a handful of EP releases the group took a hiatus.
Flowers continued his musical education touring with the likes of The Booze, Butch Walker (Atlanta); Halfway 2 Hazard, The Grand Magnolia’s, Paul McDonald (Nashville); Young Hines (Chicago), Cary Ann Herst (Charleston), Puffy AmiYumi, P!nk, The Pierces, Pyyramids, Gin Wigmore, Coldplay (Los Angeles) , and Arthur H. Waters (Foothills of Appalachian Mts), The Record Company, Randy houser (spring 2025).
Flowers landed in Venice, CA in the late summer of 2009 to seek new opportunity. A few blocks from the beach, he found sunshine, bicycles, and funding to launch, conduct, and orchestrate The Venice Symphony Orchestra (VSO is a non-profit orchestra, “from Beck to Beethoven”). Here, Flowers furthered his love affair with lush arranging techniques from the 1860’s to the 1960’s.
His debut solo album, Flowers, is out on vinyl now.
