Jay Della Valle is a Filmmaker, Singer, Songwriter, and Mustache Enthusiast. He has appeared in various films, off-Broadway productions, and on television as a host/VJ for Much Music USA.

A graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts, Della Valle started producing films with his partner, Jay Seals, in 2004. Since then, Reel Eyez Films has produced the short film, Disappearing Act. The Glorius Mustache Challenge is his first documentary and his first feature filmmaking debut.

Jay Della Valle and his glorious handlebar mustache reside in East Rutherford, NJ.

Mike was attending William Paterson University when Jay confronted him about the GMC. Despite Mike's upper lip being incapable of the faintest growth (and this guy calls himself Italian!), his production experience came in handy across the board, while shooting interviews, editing, and keeping the effort organized. He began his career working as a production assistant for Storytellers on VH1, and has worked in production and post-production on various shows, including the Rosie O'Donnel Show, the Victoria Secret Fashion Show, the NYC World Trade Center Benefit Concert, Survivor, the 2004 Olympics, and The Apprentice.

With a diverse range of talents in the visual arts, Greg brought many to the table while working on this film. A self-taught animator, painter, and programmer, Greg graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore in 2000, where he studied film, video, and computer graphics and animation. Originally from New Jersey, Greg moved back north in the summer of 2005. In the first few months of living in New York, Greg completed this, his first feature-length edited film… and his first mustache.

Katie first realized the mustache might be coming back while the only girl living in an apartment of young guys plotting a “mustache weekend.” It was all a little confusing until she came across Jay Della Valle & The Glorius Mustache Challenge, and for the first time understood the allure of a hairy upper lip. Since joining the movement in 2005, she continues to gain respect for mustaches and the men behind them. A native of New Orleans and a graduate of Loyola University, Katie has worked in documentary film and commercial production in New York, Los Angeles, and New Orleans.
