Hi! I’m Jo Anna Van Thuyne. I’m an actor, comedian and producer from Philadelphia. I am currently studying at The UCB Training Center in NYC and The Penny Templeton Studio.
I’m one of the stars and producers of the horror film, American Exorcist, and I have a web series called Creepy Basement.
My behind the scenes career started with ShadowBox Pictures as their associate producer working on a number of commercials. I’ve gone on to work on various projects like The Suspect, and worked closely with production companies to produce quality online content.
If you’ve got an idea or a character that needs to be brought to life– I’m your girl! You can contact me at jopincushion@ or 610.724.8184. I look forward to hearing from you, and excited to work with you.

Writer Jef Connectorkit lives in a kaleidoscopic world where puppets are probable and anything is possible. The son of a human mother and ruthless, monster tycoon father Jef doesn't feel at home anywhere, including his own house where Scram, Artie and Harry, his unhinged monster room mates are usually about to burn it to the ground. Jef's quiet inner struggles are often set aside to deal with his explosive outer struggles as he (sometimes literally) puts out fires in the wake of his friends' antics. Torn between winning his monster father's approval and forging his own human identity, Jef sometimes just settles for making it through the day alive.
