Wayland Productions was founded by Kc Wayland in 1994. As an undergrad studying film production at Chapman University, Kc debuted 365 Boots on the Ground, a feature documentary filmed during his time spent overseas as an engineer in the US Army. After forays into short films and animation, Kc made history with We’re Alive, one of the first major American audio dramas of its kind. Recorded and produced on a non-existent budget, We’re Alive amassed hundreds of millions of downloads and a large dedicated fanbase. The podcast eventually expanded into four seasons, spin-off shows Lockdown and Goldrush, an actual-play tabletop show by Geek and Sundry called We’re Alive: Frontier, and a sequel, We’re Alive: Descendants.
