Bio:
Edmund Blastfodder was born on the Mid Rim planet Ringo Vinda as the younger of two siblings. His older sibling was a brother named Randall. Randall was seven years older than Edmund, and had a fascination with setting off fireworks which he shared with his younger brother early on. Edmund also had a fascination with the myths and legends of his home planet, and with stories in general. So, when he was an adult Edmund decided to combine his two passions, and become a holodrama director specializing in the use of explosive pyrotechnics.

Now primarily going by his last name, Blastfodder moved to the city-planet Coruscant to begin his career. Progress was slow at first, but he gained widespread recognition after making the holodrama Collision, a disaster film telling the story of a hyperspace accident between two massive starcruisers. After a few more successful holodramas including The Penitentiary, and Failed Experiment, Blastfodder became a regular director for the studio Paraversal Pictures. During this time, Blastfodder also picked up a regular crew to work with in the behind-the-scenes process. Now, Blastfodder has started working on his most ambitious project yet: a big-budget holodrama franchise centered around the premise of a race of shapeshifting droids invading from another galaxy.
