Who We Are!
Our company mission is to be the premier choice for all fan connection needs.
Meet Hollie!
​
For the past decade, Hollie has been instrumental in supporting various actors, including Dan Payne, Kasey Esser Alex Zahara, and Brady Wolfgram, at conventions and events. She organized an international meet and greet with Kasey Esser, and has served as a personal assistant for countless fan-engagement experiences.
​
With 10+ years of experience at conventions, and the backing of her amazing family and Beemer Wolf Productions, Hollie is excited to launch the first large format fan conventions dedicated to the Vertical Entertainment Industry! Beemer Wolf Productions is pioneering the vertical drama fan experience and is the first to host a convention that connects the talented individuals behind these films with their fans.
​
Hollie can't wait create a unique event that fosters intimate and memorable interactions between the creatives behind vertical dramas and fans during an unforgettable weekend!
​​
Meet Dan!
​​​
A Navy Veteran, former Deputy and EMT, and lifelong creative professional, Dan brings a rare blend of discipline, heart, and vision to everything he does. After serving six years aboard the USS Coronado, Dan carried forward the Navy’s commitment to leadership, teamwork, and precision into civilian life.
​
Dan’s post-service career reflects his multidimensional passions. He studied Performing Arts and Technical Theater at Concordia University, and went on to spend 15 years as Set Designer for Inspiration Performing Arts Center, crafting immersive environments that brought countless stories to life. In parallel, he and his wife Hollie have spent over 20 years as Co-Owners and CEOs of WOLF Inc., a residential care facility dedicated to enriching the lives of adults with special needs—an endeavor rooted in compassion, family, and community.
​
As co-founder of VertiCon, Dan combines creative artistry with operational precision. His unique background allows him to balance financial stewardship, production design, and guest safety, ensuring every VertiCon event is as seamless as it is unforgettable.
​
Outside of production, Dan is an avid biker and travel junkie, always seeking the next great ride or adventure. A self-proclaimed foodie and home chef, he’s earned numerous county and state awards for his BBQ, proving that whether it’s on the grill or on the convention floor, Dan’s passion for excellence never stops.​
Meet Brady!
​​​​
At just 18 years old, Brady is already making his mark as the next generation of creative forces behind Beemer Wolf Productions. With 14 years of competitive dance and 15 years of acting experience, Brady’s journey has been rooted in storytelling through movement and performance.
Now expanding his talents into scriptwriting, Brady is developing projects within the Vertical Genre, bringing a fresh voice to teen narratives that move beyond “hook-up culture” to explore authenticity, friendship, and emotional growth. His writing focuses on relatable, character-driven stories that empower young audiences to see themselves represented in a meaningful way.
Growing up in a home for adults with special needs, Brady has spent his entire life surrounded by — and learning from — that community. His deep empathy, strong communication skills, and natural ability to connect with others have shaped both his creative perspective and his personal mission: to tell stories that celebrate inclusion, kindness, and real human connection.
​
Meet Donelle!
​​​
Donelle is a proud Texan who stumbled into the world of vertical dramas in early 2024 and was instantly hooked. What started as binge-watching quickly turned into dissecting storylines, catching little inconsistencies, and diving head-first into the fan community. That passion eventually led her to team up with Hollie on VertiCon — and she couldn’t be more excited to help bring fans and actors together in such a unique way.
​
Outside of VertiCon, Donelle has built a 25+ year career in international shipping and supply chain with Maersk, but has always maintained a heart for empowering women. Through her work with Trades of Hope, she champions artisans around the globe, helping women find freedom, confidence, and connection through fashion and storytelling.
​
At her core, Donelle loves building community — whether it’s around fandom, fashion, or causes that matter. That’s why VertiCon feels like home: it combines everything she values — creativity, connection, and the joy of celebrating this bold new medium alongside the fans and talent who make it so special.
Meet Michelle (Michi)!
​​
Michi is a proud Canadian, wife, and mother to three sons. She has been friends with the Wolfgrams for almost 2 decades, after meeting for the first time at a fan convention in Vancouver, Canada.
​
It was at that event that the love for fan conventions was born, and six conventions later, that love has only grown. So when Hollie told her about her plans for VertiCon in early 2025, she didn't hesitate to jump in with both feet, even though she had only ever watch a couple of Vertical films!
​​
Whether it's working on web design, digital graphics, client relations, or production assistance, Michi is determined to lend a hand anywhere she can to help make VertiCon the ultimate fan convention for the Vertical Drama industry!
