Conceived, produced, and directed by Kacey Samiee, Hekate's Torch is the result of a deeply collaborative effort and would not have been possible without the dedication and support of an extraordinary community.

Kacey is a member of Nebula Collective, a group of artists, creators, and producers who contributed extensively to the artistic vision, production, and technical execution of the show. Shawn Jones, Mason Hayes, Bryan Assi, Brandon Veihl, and Tony Samaritano played key roles in drone design, audio, fire and LED effects, and overall show production.

Cape May Aerial Ads, a New Jersey-based national drone light show company led by Jeromie Hunter, generously donated the use of their entire drone fleet. This remarkable contribution, combined with the efforts of Nebula Collective, made this production possible.

Adhoc Creative House, a global drone show company led by Mason Hayes, provided the FAA waiver and insurance required to safely and legally operate the drones. Without this support, the aerial component of the show could not have taken flight.

Verge Aero, a global drone technology provider and show company where many members of the team work, created the drones used in this production as well as the software used to design and fly the show. Verge also provided drones to fill out our fleet, along with various production items necessary for running the show.

Lisa Payne and Victorie Daves did incredible work toward marketing, and Amy Augustyniak helped shout about the show from the rooftops.

Lisa Payne also handled countless errands and random acts of support in service of the show.

Tim Deagan provided invaluable guidance and help with fire ground effects and certification.

Hideout Coffee House and Theatre generously provided theatrical lighting for the production, an essential contribution that allowed the performers to be properly illuminated beyond the limitations of drone-based lighting alone.

Special thanks to Dean Woosley for generously providing the truck and trailer used to transport the drones from New Jersey, and to Shawn and Mason for picking them up.

Special thanks to Julio Lopez, Ace Manning, Brandon Garza, and Vynal Lens for taking photos and video during our rehearsals that we were able to use for marketing.

We are deeply grateful to Pioneer Farms for hosting this event and for their commitment to making it accessible. It has been a true pleasure to bring this show to life on their land.

We also thank the City of Austin for supporting this project through the Nexus Grant. This support helped bring a three-year vision into reality.
