“Tears of Bankers” is produced and directed by indie film legend Rick Schmidt, whose films have placed in dozens of festivals, including Sundance Film Festival, Berlin Film Festival and the Florence (Italy) Film Festival. Barry Norman is a producer/executive producer/actor in the film.

Other musical groups on the soundtrack include the influential post-punk group, Mission Of Burma whose songs have been covered by artists such as REM and Moby.
Combined, Maguire and Meador have more than 45 years of the music industry experience. Before creating music together, they each had musical careers playing in bands and as accompanists in genres such as alternative, Southern gospel, jazz, blues, classical and rock. The band, and both individuals, are licensed by BMI and are eyeing to stake a claim not only in the indie film industry, but also the growing digital industry. The band is licensed by BMI.
