Meet The Creators

This project was created by the Lost Mountain Mechanicals: three working grown-ups, all with families and all with careers, who just decided to do something different. They take the name "mechanicals" from the Shakespearean reference in "A Midsummer Nights Dream":  working men trying desperately to do something creative.
