MICAH OLOGBENLA
A talented actor, filmmaker, and producer, Micah has built an impressive foundation to his career through constant dedication, emotional honesty, and a sharp instinct for storytelling.
His journey began in 2018 while studying under Gary Grant, where he was cast as Marcus in the original run of Under Influence. What was intended as a one-off performance quickly grew into nine additional showings for colleges and student audiences due to the overwhelming praise he received. This early success ignited Micah’s passion for exploring vulnerable, character-driven narratives.
​
Between 2020 and 2023, Micah’s artistic growth accelerated significantly. After a standout audition, he earned a place at the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain, thriving in an environment that demanded both discipline and creativity. In early 2021, he wrote, shot, and released his debut short film LONE, which went on to win multiple awards and secure nominations at national and international festivals - a defining achievement that showcased his talent as a filmmaker.
​
Shortly after, Gary Grant awarded Micah his first professional acting credit in Murder in the Cathedral. Impressed by his work ethic and vision, Gary invited Micah to join the production team for the upcoming film adaptation of Under Influence, marking his transition into producing and creative leadership.
Later that year, Micah was scouted and signed by Alexander Baker Management, further expanding his footprint in the industry and leading to ongoing professional credits.
​
Most recently, Micah has played a key role in Crizmo Productions’ expansion into feature filmmaking, serving as a producer on I’m Not You while also portraying the character Alex. He continues to bring emotional depth, artistic clarity, and a collaborative spirit to every project
HANNAH ELIZA
​
Hannah’s introduction to the creative arts also began in 2018 when she joined youth theatre, where her natural ability to connect emotionally with audiences quickly became clear.
Hannah went on to train in musical theatre, a period that strengthened both her discipline and her understanding of character-driven narratives.
​
During her training, Hannah was offered a rare and invaluable opportunity: work experience on the UK tour of & Juliet. Being behind the scenes of a major professional production exposed her to the full scale of theatre-making and it was in that environment that she knew she would never step away from the world of film and theatre. This experience solidified her commitment to a lifelong career in the creative arts.
​
Between 2020 and 2024, Hannah continued to refine her voice as both an actress and a creative, taking part in a range of stage and screen projects that pushed her artistic growth. Later getting to work with Crizmo Productions who invited her to join the team.
Most recently, Hannah has been involved in Crizmo’s major projects, including the feature film I’m Not You and the film adaptation of Under Influence, further establishing herself as one of the company’s rising creative forces.

LUKE OSBORNE
​
A theatre and film graduate, Luke has had a remarkably strong start to his creative career, establishing himself as both a performer and a director with a clear artistic vision.
His directorial debut came with the theatrical production BAGS, a project he not only directed but also starred in - showcasing his ability to balance leadership and performance with confidence and commitment.
​
Luke trained under Gary Grant for five years, consistently impressing with his discipline, creativity, and instinct for character. Recognising his potential, Gary invited Luke to join the feature film I’M NOT YOU as an Assistant Director. Luke excelled in the role, quickly earning additional responsibilities and demonstrating an exceptional aptitude for filmmaking at a professional level.
​
During and prior to this, Luke portrayed Harry in Gary’s latest staging of UNDER INFLUENCE, delivering a performance that earned praise from industry professionals and solidified his reputation for emotional depth on stage. The piece resonated deeply with him, and his passion for the work became a driving force behind its continuation. It was Luke’s initiative, determination, and belief in the story that helped bring Under Influence to life as a London theatre production and later into film, a significant milestone in the project’s evolution.
​
This dedication naturally extended into film. Luke now serves as a producer on the film adaptation of Under Influence, playing a key role in shaping the production and ensuring the story’s transition from stage to screen remains authentic, grounded, and emotionally impactful.
