CAST AND CREW
*Thomas
Ryan: Director/Role of “Fan”
Tom is a highly influential talent in the Indie film community.
Most notably, his turn as actor, writer, director and producer in his own feature film,
Faces, and well-received short Day 9. Through his company, Theatre of
Terror, each has garnered awards at shows such as at Macabre Faire and the International Horror Film fest. Tom will be our set boss, blending the talent
together, and also a pleasure for all in his role as the relentless fan.
*Mark Bourtros: Director of Photography/Cinematography

photography on the acclaimed show Zombie Hunters: City of the Dead, and has
contributed his keen eye for art to the films Aemorraghe and the upcoming

producer, actor, and director. Painkiller; the first film that he wrote,

currently in post-production and co-stars Tom Sizemore and Eric Roberts. Most
recently, Jerry has started to direct, working on a series of horror shorts
that he has also written, beginning with Ditch. Jerry will be sure to please in a role suited to his uncanny
talent and screen presence.
*Diane Hackett: Role of “Female”
Fresh from her appearance as the uncanny Mrs. Tromblay in Rob
Dimension’s Mortimor Tromblay, Diane is a welcome addition to the cast,
adding to her appearances in other shorts, such as Dimension’s Rabbit Hole
and the James M. Excutus web series S.P.I.E.S Files.
*Russell Hackett: Writer/Role of “Filmmaker”
In his debut as Writer and Lead Actor, Russell brings experience from
his appearances in Baggage, Rabbit Hole, Mortimor Tromblay and S.P.I.E.S.
Files, as well as the micro-short Ditch, and will make an impact in a role
designed to bring attention to the struggle of Indie Filmmakers everywhere.

her magic touch to such films as Mike O’Mahoney’s Ghost Box, as well as Rabbit

as one of the lead makeup artists, and at the Mt. Holly Haunted Prison from

talents towards designing and modeling various costumes, as well as body -painting.
Lisa’s efforts certainly have not gone unnoticed, as she has won multiple

turning her eye towards making our characters jump out at the screen.
