Production Team Bios:

Producer/Director: TJ Paradiso

TJ was born into a Camden, NJ family with a long history in the city dating back to at least 1909, and incorporating the Italian, Polish, and Irish communities. He lived in Cramer Hill and the Cooper District sections of town, before moving to the Jersey suburbs, Philadelphia, and later to Hollywood.

A graduate of the Seattle University Drama program, he has directed independent plays, films, and worked on TV shows; including Journeyman, The Shield, The New Adventures of Old Christine, and 500 Days of Summer.

Production Staff: Mark Jacyszyn

Mark's talents not only include award winning script writing for Irriversi, but he came to me with an instrumental knowledge of producing, and keeping me on track. Most recently he has been a part of the Academy Award winning special effects team working on The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. However, Mark's greatest gift to the Production is his true love of the art of making films.

Camera Operator: Buddy Blankenship

William "Buddy" Blankenship, a 2008 Rowan University graduate with a bachelors degree in Radio,TV, and Film. He interned in the digital media department at The American College.

Buddy would like to thank TJ Paradiso for the opportunity to work on the "City Invincible" film project and is really pleased with the project and how it has opened his eyes to the 'real' Camden, NJ.
