STEVE FREEDMAN (Director/Producer/Co-writer) has brought together his many talents as an actor, writer, director, producer, and even editor to create “Ghosts Never Sleep.” He began his career as an actor in independent films, including “POW: The Escape” opposite David Carradine and “Blood and Concrete,” where he played the beat poet/adrenaline junkie Dumas opposite Billy Zane. Later, he began writing and directing theatre, commercials, and informational programs for companies such as Intel, Philips, General Mills and United Parcel Service, to name just a few.

Freedman makes his feature debut with “Ghosts Never Sleep”. “Committing to make Christopher Joyce’s play “Kill Switch” into a film was not an easy decision,” admits the director. “Chris’s ideas about the focus of the movie and my own were very different at first.” But after two years and a lot of working together, the script finally took shape in a form acceptable to both Freedman and Joyce.

“Ghosts Never Sleep” is the first film under the More East to Go Films banner. The company he founded with business partner and fellow producer David Castenholz is already at work on its next production and has plans to produce a slate of up to five films per year.

He directed the world premiere of his second play “Kill Switch,” at the Ventura Court in Los Angeles.  The production was selected as Critic's Pick in Backstage West.

As an actor, Mr. Joyce has appeared in well-received productions of “Grease,” “Class Enemy” and “As You Like It.” On television, he has been seen on episodes of “Family Ties,” “Capitol” and “Days Of Our Lives” and he has provided voices for the animated films “Ghost In The Shell” and “Blackjack: The Movie.” He recently completed the screenplay “Levittown,” an adaptation of his award-winning play “Jerusalem Avenue.”

DAVID CASTENHOLZ (Producer) has long had an interest in both the artistic and business aspects of the film industry. His decision to get involved with “Ghosts Never Sleep” was based as much on the sheer talent of Director Freedman as it was on the strength of the script. “From the very beginning I recognized Steve’s tremendous artistic talent and potential,” Castenholz relates. “It would have been a real missed opportunity not to have gotten involved in this project.” Castenholz is excited not only about Ghosts Never Sleep but also about his and Freedman’s new venture More East to Go Films, which is currently in negotiations to acquire a second project.

Castenholz has been a practicing attorney and businessman since receiving his JD/MBA from Boston University in 1986. In addition to producing films, he serves as General Counsel to a number of companies in a range of areas including entertainment, business and financial planning, real estate and mortgage lending as well as to several nonprofit organizations.
