C.J. Collins


Actor/Videographer/Cosplayer
Actor/Videographer/Cosplay Entertainer

C.J. Collins has always had an affinity for the stage. He took 8 years of acting and film classes in which he excelled, but discovered as he developed his skills, that he was not comfortable with how the competitive nature of the business brought out what he felt was "The worst in him". C.J.'s ultimate goal in life being to help others feel good, smile, and laugh, he opted to switch directions with his schooling and is now going to Daytona Beach College for his associates degree and then plans to transfer to University of Central Florida's Pre Med Program to become a doctor.

Even though C.J.'s focus in life is his medical degree, he's still managed to make a niche for himself in the cosplay community on the side, because in his own words "You can take the actor from the stage, but you can't take the stage from the actor." As an outlet for his creativity and thirst to perform in a non pressured setting C.J. began creating amusing videos of himself in cosplay acting out the characters from his favourite animes and video games. He uploaded them to his personal youtube just to share with friends and was astonished at just how popular they became.

The videos became so popular that his name was dropped during an audition when Cosplay Show Director, Stephanie Chateau was on the hunt for Interactive Entertainers for one of her shows. Interested in what she had heard she sent out a personal invitation to C.J. Collins to audition. C.J. sent in one of his popular YouTube videos as the character Kefka Palazzo, and was immeadiately cast as one of the lead villain characters for the show. (for which he recieved even more rave reviews!) Shortly after, his YouTube channel lolfilmworks was flooded by new and old fans alike. This caught the attention of Stephanie, other Con Directors, and the owners of YouTube themselves.

C.J. is now being contracted for syndication by YouTube, has been picked up by Stephanie's company Concept Galaxy and will be touring cons that want him to perform whenever he is able to take weekends off that don't interfere with his schooling. C.J. is also the retired founder of the dedicated cosplay troupe "Bonzai Anime" and while he managed the group, assisted in the organization and judging of various cosplay contests and events. He also hosts cosplay improv panels which are a big hit amongst convention attendees. This makes C.J. an experienced and well rounded cosplay guest for any anime and gaming conventions needs.



Meredith Placko (a.k.a. Ana Aethestic)


Broadcast Specialist

Model

Cosplay Entertainer
Broadcast Specialist/Model/Cosplay Entertainer

Meredith Placko (aka "Ana Aethestic") was picked up by Concept Galaxy after she blew convention attendees away with her performance for Stephanie Chateau's "Time Warped Wonderland" production. Although it is what is jettisoning Merideth into more guest appearances at conventions, remarkably, acting for stage and film is something Meredith had never thought to try until recently.

Before she was discovered on stage Meredith started out using her strong voice talent in various forms of Broadcasting after she earned her Bachelor's Degree in Broadcast Communications. Back in early 2000 Meredith began gaining noteriety as a host of one of the most ground breaking syndicated pioneer sub-culture radio stations on the scene, "Radio Sci-Fi". After 4 years of paying her dues she moved on to book various gigs doing voice over work for commercial radio and television as well. She's also known for her time working as a co-host for geek culture pod cast "Just Push Play".

Meredith is also a proud cosplay and comic book geek, known amongst the cosplay community as "Ana Aethestic". She has an associates degree in Fashion, Design, and Marketing and has been booked for numerous modeling gigs, but decided she much preferred creating her costumes and modeling them as a hobbey. This motivated "Ana" to try her hand at making various super hero costumes so she could assist as a character in the "Heroe's Alliance", a cosplay organization with a goal to bring help and hope to sick and disabled children. After only 2 months of working with the organization, Ana was elected as Vice President, and now helps run many of the fund raisers and events for charity.
