Team

Rogue Alchemy Pictures is the production company run by Michael Charron to bring life to various projects he thinks up.

In the past eight years this team has created films and scripts that have had over 250 official selections and won 69 awards from 106 different festivals across 31 states and three countries.

Included below are a few of the talented people he frequently collaborates with.

Writer/Director – Michael Charron

Michael sees the movie theater as a place where traditions are subverted–where the status quo gets turned on its head. And this is where his writing sensibilities lie–in taking an established concept or idea and finding a way to turn it into something different. From slasher films where the “sexy” girls are the most competent ones to a rom-com where the meet cute takes place during casting for a snuff film, there’s no trope he’s unwilling to push to its limit.   

Michael’s written more than a dozen feature films (and produced four of them) as well as written and produced a series of successful shorts. Michael has had several feature scripts both place as finalists and win in festivals and has had multiple short films win awards in recent years, including several that took top honors. 

Frequent Collaborators

Composer – TW Bond

T.W.Bond began creating scores and soundtrack songs for independent projects in Osaka, Japan in 2000. After relocating to Austin TX in 2002, he came to specialize in recreating the Spector Wall-of-Sound style & technique as well as mimicking the distinct nuances of various film score  classics. In early 2017, he completed the music, lyrics, and soundtrack of the Adult Swim musical sitcom, The Suplex Duplex Complex. Bond pioneered the idea of the “video flyer” in the early days of YouTube to promote band shows at local venues. He has performed with Nirgilis, Gary Wilson & the Blind Dates, Barry Micron, and the Charles Potts Magic Windmill Band.

Director of Photography – Steven Gunter

Steven is a photographer and filmmaker who fell into his craft by accident. He studied vocal performance and pedagogy in college to ensure his ability to either work in retail or be self-employed, and he’s grateful the self-employment thing is working out. Steven’s film work ranges from traveling the world making micro-docs and promo films for NGO’s, clever Kickstarter videos, and music videos for local artists. Typically a team-of-one filmmaker, he’s looking forward to working on more team-based productions.

Actor/Producer – Erik Anderson

Erik Anderson began acting at the age of 11, in Georgetown, TX, where he performed in stage productions directed by his middle school theater teacher. His  feature film debut came in 2001, with a lead role in the indie comedy Jobbers. He has acted in four feature length films, and numerous shorts, two of which have won awards at the Fort Worth Indie Film Showcase and the Bare Bones Film Festival. Anderson is also an accomplished voice actor performing a wide range of characters and accents.

Actor/Producer – Alyssia Rivera

Alyssia Rivera was born and raised in Kingsville, Texas. She found her passion for theatre and film at a young age and began working in film professionally when she moved to San Antonio in 2010. Since then she has made a name for herself as an award winning actress on the Independent Film Festival Circuit.
