Dead End Studios LLC

"Dead End Studios" is an independent film company created and managed by Tatiana Leitzel.  We are here to stop stereotypes of film and give it back everything that was once taken out--originality!  We are all about character driven films.  Films that put you on the edge of your seat NOT KNOWING what is going to happen next!  We are about the rise and fall of characters, the good and bad within people, and foggy revelations.  We are about great quality film that is from our minds and not all about making big money.  Film is an art, which is forgotten.  Help us remind people what it once was and what it should be!

Our Business

Our business is here to help you as an actress, a musician, a film maker, an aspiring crew member, a CG artist, editor, writer, mass marketer, special effects artist, and as a producer!  We are here to help guide you through experience and learn from you. 

Cinematographer/ photographer Tatiana Leitzel has been behind a camera every chance she had since a young age.  The film studio took an unexpected turn to photograph models, weddings, and beyond in 2008.  Tatiana photographs everything from weddings and model shoots, to portraits, senior pictures, pets, products and stock photography, event, travel, locations, performances, and so much more.  Our services are rapidly expanding!  Need something photographed  professionally?  Contact us!

Who We Are

Tatiana Leitzel

Owner/ Manager

Director/ Producer/ Screen Writer/ Editor/Photographer

     Shurfine Raisin Bran started it all.  Tatiana's father randomly entered a contest off of the cereal box to later find out that they won a trip to Hollywood, California.  While there they toured sets and behind the scenes buildings and work rooms.  Once entering the editing/ screening room the tour guide explained what a director’s job was and what type of person they had to be. He described Tatiana exactly. Something in her clicked to say the least.  On Christmas of 2004 she received her first DV camera. That next summer, at the age of only 16, she filmed my first full length movie “Dead End”. She has always wrote her own screenplays, directed, produced, and is even the DoP of her projects. Directing is her dream. She  feels complete on set.  She went on to make quite a few films after that and is continuing reaching for her dreams!  She is constantly investing time and money into the studio and into her projects.
