Ellie Jackson grew up on the idyllic streets of suburban Minneapolis, but don’t let her “Minnesota Nice” fool you… this bitch has never been sculpted in butter! Ellie (or Eleanore if you so choose) started her acting career at 8 years old, cutting her teeth at a variety of theatres in Minneapolis. Ten years later a continued passion for acting (and the need to get out of town after a “misunderstanding” involving a broken bottle and some sorry-ass punks) brought her to Los Angeles where she studied Theatre at the University of Southern California. Ellie’s chief focus is still Acting, but along the way she has also become a production goddess extraordinaire. She is pleased as (spiked)punch to be joining the GuyInTheGarage team, in order to put her production skills to use on projects she really believes in, and not just ones that pay the bills. As her title indicates she is also a “dealer” of baked goods… try her sea-salt-caramel-chocolate cake…. “first slice is free, man”.

Andrew Scott is the Swiss Army knife of the entertainment industry and art world. From his bittersweet writing to his visionary art direction to his haunting photographs and even some specials effects or key hair if need be, he has vision and talent and humility for miles.Andrew has worked primarily on feature film for the past 15 years, working on set with some of Hollywoods best and brightest. He has sat behind the cameras and witnessed true genius and horrific hacks puttin' it down on film for the benefit of us all. At some point he realized that he could do it as well, if not better and for less money. The day will come soon that this "entertainment sleeper cell" wakes up and puts the hurt on Hollywood's old guard. "Roll over and make room, Hollywood. You're game is tired and you're hoggin' the covers!"

It’s On Productions (IOP) is a film production company founded on the concept that surrounding yourself with high quality people, the right attitude, and a belief in social responsibility will result in superior work and a free flow of creative ideas. In addition, IOP was started with the view that working with people who enjoy what they do will always be profitable.

IOP is at the front of a new way of thinking in film production. IOP streamlines the cost of production overhead allowing us to provide a savings to our clients without sacrificing the integrity of the projects we participate in. At the same time we cut down on waste and promote positive social behavior, which we believe increases productivity and creates a worthwhile work environment.
The IOP team of directors is a diverse group of artists with a variety of experience including Commercials, Feature Films, Documentaries, Music Videos, and Internet Campaigns, to name a few.

The creators of IOP (Matty Struski & Troy Sullivan) are originally from Boston, Massachusetts, and are convinced that the combination of an East Coast work ethic and the West Coast experience help foster first class ideas and a great atmosphere.
