Lose yourself in the story
For the Guerilla Wanderers, the story is paramount. I helped Sean McCarthy, writer/director extraordinaire, establish Guerilla Wanderers in its early years. Sean’s vision was in the name he cleverly crafted. Guerilla, like guerilla warfare, stands for a get-on-the-front-lines approach to filmmaking. No BS. No excuses. Only laying it all on the line to bring the vision to life. Wanderers stands for their curious and open nature in regards to the creative process. They don’t employ a cut and dry formula but rather lose themselves in each project. This process births authentic pieces that really resonate. I captured the spirit of Guerilla Wanderers by crafting a ninja-inspired motif that felt fresh, evocative, and bold in the film industry at the time. The stamp-like logo has served the Wanderers well over the last 15+ years.
The Bay Area bred Sean McCarthy and the Guerilla Wanderers team have been writing, producing, and directing the official Cinequest trailer that runs before each festival screening for the last 12 years.
Not all who
wander are lost.

Ephraim is a true creative triple threat, as both an art director and graphic designer he exemplifies himself as a leader in his field, displaying a deft knowledge of the craft and its history, as well as an innate talent combined with a sheer dedication to craft. He's also a producing partner whom I've counted on for many projects. That third skill elevates his other skills, as I've worked with many talented artists but the ability to get things done, keep communication clear, manage a team, and establish a strong understanding of how to take something from concept to execution is more rare. With all 3 skills in tow, he is a creative force of nature.

Ephraim is a very talented and creative artist. His visions for branding products/companies to web layouts were very compelling. He was also able to apply these talents to a few short motion picture projects in a fresh and new way. Without Ephraim, much of the companies designs would lack the life, and originality that is present at Guerilla Wanderers.

Ephraim is a true creative soul. When he approaches a creative brief or dilemma he looks for what will be the most successful solution for both the creative and the business needs. I worked with Ephraim while our client was going through a rebrand, which is always a bumpy road, but he always maintained a clear vision of what the creative needed to look like, as well as how we were going to evolve with their rebrand. Ephraim also took an interest in each designer’s personal career growth, going above and beyond to encourage them in their side interests and giving them projects to foster their growth in those subjects.
