The Company

Kyle Franklin

Kyle is an American born composer. Since childhood he has had a love of film, storytelling, and music. In high school Kyle picked up his first instrument, the guitar which later led to the piano and then ultimately to composition. When it came time to go to college there was only one place to go. Kyle auditioned and was accepted to Berklee College of Music, where he would meet countless talented musicians in the form of students and professors, many of whom later became dear friends, collaborators, and mentors. Currently Kyle resides in Los Angeles California as a composer and music educator, as well as being a connoisseur of all the things life in sunny California has to offer. When Kyle is not having too much fun living life you can find him locked away in his workspace creating music for great projects with his collaborators Jasper van Dijk, It's a Little Musical, and many wonderful film makers including the Karen Twins.

Alex Berner

Alex’s artistic dream has always been pretty simple: to create new things with friends. This is at the core of what led him out of his small town in upstate New York, to Berklee College of Music, where he studied Film and Video Game Composing. There he met Chase Harris, and the two formed the game & media audio company, MojoFilter Media. Alex has scored games (CANE Chapters 1 & 2, Springvale, Archipelago), documentaries (Jefferson: Then and Now), podcasts (The Switch, Breakfast in Beauclair, Are You Okay?, The Big Inside, Composer Conversations) as well as other apps and media.
In college he met his life partner, and fellow ILM member, Paige Sklar. She helped teach him about the art form that he had always wanted to do, but not yet been a part of, Musical Theatre.
Loving to live at the junction of his interests in life, Alex is always working to combine his worlds of music, and philosophy & self development to help himself, and hopefully others to get motivated to figure out how to build the lives they want. He values personal growth, kindness, and honesty. He is grateful to every single person who has joined this project, and to YOU, the one who read his whole 3rd person bio!

Paige Sklar

Paige grew up in sunny South Florida dreaming to freeze to a crisp in THE BIG APPLE! Huh? What? Why would a sunny princess leave a tropical paradise? Sometimes now she stares out her window, wondering why she left paradise.... when she gets a zoom call with 15-20 SUNNY FACES ready to make a MUSICAL and SING!!! Paige wants Broadway, so she has to deal with the winter a few more months.. maybe a few more years! Oh, she also graduated from “The BoCo” with a few of these people here too. Maybe did a few voiceovers for a company called Mojofilter Media… whoever they are. Well Paige is excited and is staying in New York now! She says… “YAY!” In addition to loving music & musicals, Paige is also extremely interested in psychology. She is considering going back to school to help others with mental health issues. Paige is thrilled to be joining the ILM company!
