Scott Bloom began working professionally in Southern California 15 years ago as a freelance editor for Feature Documentaries, Situation Comedies, Film Trailers and Reality Television.

In 2005, Scott began stretching as a Producer and Director by shooting and editing the award winning documentary "Original Pride: The Satyrs Motorcycle Club", his first independently produced feature length film which premiered at Film Festivals and on television networks around the world.

"Call Me Troy" is Scott's second documentary.  It is his hope that the early struggles of the community depicted in this film, and one man's personal story of his civil rights journey, provide an historic foundation for textbook learning for generations to come.

Scott resides in Los Angeles with his partner Larry and their dog Kody.

Larry Diamond began his film-making career by working in Educational Films. He later moved into the communications field where he currently holds an Executive title.

As Co-Producer, his creative energies were easily re-engaged when presented with tasks associated with the "Call Me Troy" project. Knowing the story of Troy Perry sparked Larry's passion for having this story documented. Understanding that many within his own community were either unfamiliar with, or took the civil rights they enjoy today for granted, Larry continues to work to ensure that "Call Me Troy" receives it's rightful spot in history and is accessible to learning institutions worldwide.

Larry is a native of Southern California, and resides in Los Angeles with his partner, the Producer/Director of "Call Me Troy" Scott Bloom, and their dog Kody.

Zallen: With a professional career starting at the age of fifteen years old winning a "Battle of the Bands" contest with his band "Eulogy," co-formed with Rusty Anderson (currently Paul McCartney's lead guitarist), to Paisley Park and Terry Lewis and Jimmy Jam, songs in major Hollywood movies, national television commercials, jingles and Radio spots, Zallen is a self taught multi-instrumentalist and composer with quite a colorful musical past. His compositions show a yearning for classic Rock and Pop melodies from yesteryear, with an ear towards the contemporary.
