Vulcan - A Productions is headed by ballsy actress/writer/producer/musician and song writer Liane Curtis. 

Liane is 4th generation show business on her father' side and 2nd generation song writer on her mother's with her daughter Jacqueline Mackenzie very quickly following in the family footsteps www.jaqrox.com . On Dad's side, Liane comes from the Ford family - a dance dynasty created by Liane's great Grandfather, John William Ford, whose fame lasted from 1880s through the late 1920s. The Four Fords were: Ed, Max (who invented a tap step called the Maxi Ford), Dora and Mabel. They were internationally renowned Vaudeville entertainers - amazing terpsichoreans - they eventually split and The Ford Sisters became their own act and traveled with their own orchestra. The fifth Ford was Jonny who went off on his own. Jonny was married (briefly) to Eva Tanguay. Liane's Grandmother, Mabel, was one of the two Ford Sisters and her Grandfather Jack Curtis Sr. was a Keith Albee booker and later became a theatrical agent. Prior to having Jack Jr., he had a daughter with Vaudeville's Anna Chandler - Beatrice Curtis who married Harry Fox. They had a son about a year before Mabel and Jack Sr. were married. Liane would love to find out who he was. Max Sr. had two children Liane knew nothing about until February 2005.  Tom and Miriam. Tom's family is HUGE and Liane is ecstatic at having a new branch of the family to share the Ford legacy.

Liane's father Jack Curtis made a film called The Flesheaters in the 1960's and voiced several roles in the cartoon animated series Speed racer. An editor by trade he died at 44 in 1970.

Jack's first cousin was Roy Benson - magcian in his own right mentored by Nate Leiptzig about whom a book has been written: Roy Benson By Starlight which is available from www.themiraclefactory.org. Roy built the monster for The Flesheaters.
