Raised in a military family, Andrew's nomadic childhood nurtured his visionary spirit and entrepreneurial drive. A passion for music production and social media ignited at age 12, leading him to amass millions of online impressions by 16. This early success propelled his entry into the music industry, where he provided marketing services that helped several songs achieve multi-platinum status. Around this time he met Chris and their close bond inspired the co-founding of Soleil Pictures years later. Beyond art, he tackles scientific and engineering challenges, having developed a method for carbon-negative cement production. Andrew's relentless drive, combined with his unique blend of business and creative talents, positions him as a powerful force in filmmaking.

Mexico City-born Christopher Perez’s artistic journey began soon after moving to Illinois due to a medical condition. The multi-talented artist has explored and begun multiple projects before co-founding Soleil Pictures alongside Andrew Conklin. Chris has worked as a freelance artist, growing his social media presence and catching the eye of celebrities with his successful Instagram art account. He has also explored comic book scriptwriting, singing, and songwriting, and is now translating his creativity into film projects, pushing boundaries, and leaving a mark on the world of cinema.
