Tye grew up in Boise, Idaho and spent the first eighteen years of her life there writing, shooting, directing and editing short horror films starring her sister Kate, a large cast of both Barbie’s and miscellaneous action figures, and on occasion, her dogs. Her love of dark comedies and monster movies was encouraged by her loving family and their dedication to the weekly B-movie festivals on USA’s Up All Night and SyFy Channel. While working for the Idaho Shakespeare Festival’s annual haunted house as an undead character, she discovered that nothing in life brought her pleasure quite like scaring the holy living crap out of other people. It was this love of mayhem and movie magic that drove her to Los Angeles and into a career in the film industry. She graduated from CSUN in 2012 as a screenwriter and is an active member of the Director’s Guild of America. Although she currently works as a full time staff writer on two children’s web series, her heart and her imagination have never truly left the dark world of Scifi, and the opportunity to be a part of the phenomenal Icarus Down has been a dream come true.

Producers:
Tedi Nicoletos:

However, knowing that her true love was for film, she decided to turn them down and follow her instincts. She studied acting in Toronto, New York and LA.

behind the camera since he had the chance to co­‐executive produce a film
produced by one of his favorite filmmakers, Michael Mann. During his time
working with all these Industry Professionals, he was bitten by the film bug and all that he wanted to do was make movies, either behind or in front of
the camera. Since 2012 he lives in Los Angeles, CA.
