John Fornof, Script Writing
John Fornof is a writer and producer for radio, television and film, graduating from the Act One Writing Program and Executive Program in Hollywood, and winning two regional Emmy awards for his television documentaries. At Focus on the Family, John wrote and directed for the popular Adventures in Odyssey radio show, produced The Last Chance Detectives audio series, and also wrote and voice directed the Ribbits! animated series.
John produced and adapted two high-end audio dramas, Affabel and Rescued, for best-selling author John Bevere. For Rescued, John directed Roma Downey from Touched by an Angel, John Rhys-Davies from The Lord of the Rings, and Marisol Nichols from 24.
Todd Busteed, Sound Design and Engineering
Todd Busteed struck fear in the hearts of electronic appliances from an early age. As early as 10 years old, he loved taking TVs apart to see what was inside. Putting them back together? . . . Why do you think he got into radio?
Todd's college education aptly prepared him for the duties that would follow. He graduated with honors from Loyola University with a degree in Psychology. There is no better degree for one who directs drama. It was during these college years that he began his association with Moody Broadcasting, an association that would provide numerous opportunities, experiences, and significant meetings.
Todd's studio, GAP Digital, has been in business since 1980, creating scores of radio dramas, including programs based on such classic stories as Victor Hugo's Les Miserables, C. S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia, and George Eliot's Silas Marner. The facility recently finished producing 144 half-hour episodes of a drama series titled Left Behind, based on the best-selling book series of the same name.
John Campbell, Music Engineering and Composition
For over two decades, award winning composer John Campbell has written a variety of music for film, television and radio.
His vast and ever-evolving vision, combined with a diverse background in both creative composition and harmony, has helped John adapt to a wide range of musical styles. Over the years, John has earned himself a highly esteemed reputation within the music industry, establishing a continuous relationship with a long list of satisfied clients. John's motto to deliver music "on time and within budget" has kept people coming back, as he has demonstrated himself to be an invaluable asset in bringing a production's musical goals to a reality.
Possessing a keen musical ear, John demonstrates a dynamic style which is evident in all the music he composes. Whether creating an intense, percussive driven full orchestral score, or a soft and heartfelt emotional cue, John is able to contribute a meaningful dimension to a dramatic story.
Though he has mastered the live orchestral recording process, John's embrace of digital music technology has allowed him to progress in his musical vision and remain current in the world of popular music.
Allen Hurley, Videography
Allen Hurley is a media producer with special skills in the area of sound design, video editing, graphics, and motion design. He is as comfortable behind the camera on a video shoot as he is on a sound stage creating Foley (SFX), or in the studio mixing a 48-channel radio drama.
His career in media began at the age of 14 when he worked as an on-air radio personality in Maryland, later moving to Colorado to join the award-winning radio production team at Focus on the Family. From there, he managed the radio side at the ministry while also working as the senior recording engineer for Dr. James Dobson.
In 2001, Allen founded The Audio Suite, providing video production, graphic and web design, along with audio production, including sound design for Focus on the Family's Adventures in Odyssey and Messenger International's Rescued, starring Roma Downey, and Affabel with John Rhys-Davies.
