Via the 1960s BATMAN TV series and the Denny O’Neil/Neal Adams and Steve Englehart/Marshall Rogers Bat-Comics of the 1970s, Jett was reeled in and became a lifelong fan of The Dark Knight.
Jett’s favorite Bat-Movie/Story/Animated Series/Video Game/Graphic Novel/Website are…
BATMAN BEGINS/“The Joker’s Five-way Revenge”/BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD & BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES (tie)/ARKHAM CITY/BATMAN: YEAR ONE/BATMAN-ON-FILM.COM.
Besides following all incarnations of The Caped Crusader, Jett enjoys spending time with his wife Rachel and their three kids, working out, traveling, Elvis, Howard Stern, Rock-n-Roll, and The Dallas Cowboys. He is also a longtime high school/junior high school football coach and history teacher.

Anthony Purzicki
After College Tone Purzycki began teaming with long time childhood friend Mike Wills to film Landscape and Green Industry projects as tutorial videos. Mike & Tone sold the videos at tradeshows throughout the east coast. The collaboration led to the formation of Mikrotone Entertainment. It wasn’t until Mike Wills passed away that Tone made the decision to ride full steam ahead into the world of entertainment. In 2007 the dawning of the brand new genre known as Transmedia Entertainment fascinated Tone. He began seeking out ways to integrate the concept into all of his projects. This eventually led to the creation of Find Me Event, a ground breaking Transmedia franchise of which Tone acted as a hands-on showrunner in all aspects of production. 2012 will mark the debut of his next creation, The AlterNET Reality. Behind the scenes Tone is a Batman fanatic who de-stresses by reading the comics of his legendary hero.
