Davidson, Stafford, and Nagy previously worked together on the Universal Pictures feature film “Jurassic World”, Davidson and Nagy as Assistant Camera, and Stafford as Key Set Production Assistant. Starring in “Rocket Club” is Shayne Hartigan playing the lead role of Weston Wright. Hartigan previously worked as an extras casting director for one of the industry leading casting companies, Sande Alessi Casting.
