David Icon

Amanda Clark

"Silent Pulse "was the first time Amanda Clark acted in a film, and her performance blew Tatiana away. She immediately casted her in numerous films that carries on her character and her acting skills. This experience also changed Amanda and caused her to want to act the rest of her life. She went to Barbizon and graduated in 2008. Her excellent acting let Tatiana’s next projects be bigger and better. Amanda Clark is a strong actress with big dreams that Dead End Studios will aid her in reaching them.

Andreanna Leitzel

Andreanna first acted in shorts for school projects then "Dead End", Dead End Studios first feature length film. It was from this point forward Andreanna wanted to become an actress. Tatiana and Andreanna are sisters and have been working together on film making since the beginning. Andreanna has amazing acting skills that Tatiana puts to the test with each new film she writes. Andreanna started acting at a young age and will still progress to become better and better at what she does.

Timothy "TC" Clark

"Silent Pulse" was the first time TC was involved in a production by Dead End Studios. TC is Amanda Clark's brother and will go far with acting. His first role was as a back up in Silent Pulse and Tatiana saw potential. His next roll landed him on the Dibs Commercial entry as a zombie. Dead End Studios realized his strong point as a comedian in their version of "Beowulf" where he stared as Beowulf himself, re inventing the character Beowulf in a fresh new way for all of us.

Darin Melcher

"Silent Pulse" was the first time Darin Melcher starred in a film. He starred as the Stalker and captures the audience. Dead End Studios is considering him a definite candidate for starring in a future feature length production.

"Silent Pulse "Cast

"Silent Pulse" had a memory sequence where Aimee was with her friends; this let Dead End Studios open doors for aspiring actors and actresses as well as invite a previous actor back on set. This included (L-R) Susie F., Andrew W. (Featured in "Dead End"), Kristin S., and first time actor "TC" Clark.

Heidi Freeland

Heidi and Tatiana were friends from elementary school on. Heidi has always been an aspiring actress and has always done wonderful in shows. She performed in the high school’s plays and musicals and after graduation she still performs. In high school Heidi performed in Susquenita's version of "High School Musical" where Tatiana Leitzel was the assistant director. Heidi is not only a wonderful actress; she is a wonderful person, and a great friend. She is personable and you never hear of someone disliking her. Heidi worked with Tatiana for a last minute entry into the NCAC film contest. Shortly after Tatiana wrote "Silent Pulse" which would originally star Heidi. Heidi has always been busy and was unable to be in it since she was in college. Amanda Clark was asked to perform instead. Dead End Studios is always welcoming her on set and hopes to film a few films with her and her amazing skills.

Levi H. & Andrew W.

Dead End Studios LLC's first film was "Dead End". The project started as a graduation project and the four main members were to use it as their senior project. The two lead actors were Levi H. and Andrew W. Levi has since been studying to be in a technology field. He has helped at two of the fundraisers the studio has hosted. Andrew continues to work and may be featured as a future DOP or grip on a future project with Dead End Studios in the future.

Deanna B. & Rachael O.

"Dead End"also featured Deanna B. and Rachael O. This was not a senior project for Deanna, but she managed to give up her summer to help with the project. Rachael was to use the film as her project but failed often to show up and to pay her percentage as a co-producer. Despite the hard circumstances she left the group with, it strengthened Dead End Studios as a whole to be able to film shots to make it seem she was there and to better their editing to make it seem like her character was in key scenes.

Foster W.

Foster W. was casted in Dead End Studios first feature length film as Danny. The role was perhaps the toughest because he had to be the guy no one liked. Every actor wants to be liked, so this was a tough role. Foster, even though a likeable guy, tried his best and did a great job. Of course Dead End Studios must add that he was casted in place of someone else who the role was written more around. He played it off well, and had a great time over that summer.

Alesha D. & Keila J.

Casted in Dead End Studios first feature length film, “Dead End” these young actresses needed to be able to scream! Since they were so young it was difficult at first for the director to get them to focus on what was to be done. In the end they were part of a reliable cast that delivered all they had in the time they had. Keila has hopes of being in another Dead End Studios production in the future.

Zombies of

"Dead End"

One of a films most important things is the threat that keeps the audience rooting for the good guys. These zombies did that and then some. Since there is no way to list them all, Dead End Studios thanks you and hopes for call backs for a few future films. Dead End Studios is thankful for all the Dead-icated actors and actresses that didn’t mind falling! The director of "Dead End' still has previous zombies come up to her on the street and ask to be in another film.

MUSICIANS

Trezire

Trezire is self labeled as a "Experimental / Ambient / Industrial". This amazing group run by Nigel Jones, a highly influential individual who understands music for film as well as for albums. Nigel knows how to create the right atmosphere for film and creates magic to make a scene more intense than it already is. Dead End Studios found Trezire prior to working on the short film "Silent Pulse". Trezire created all the original scores for the film and Dead End Studios hopes to work with them again in the future.

CREW

Nancie Leitzel

Nancie Leitzel is Tatiana's and Andreanna's mother. From the first film on she has taken the job as a makeup artist. She not only does standard film makeup, she also does special FX makeup and helps with wardrobe alongside Tatiana. Nancie supports Dead End Studios and greatly helps with fundraisers. She helps keep Tatiana's fire ignited and helps the cast and crew stay focused with her calm, level headed nature.

Joseph Leitzel

Joseph Leitzel is Tatiana and Andranna's father. He restructures sets, acts, and is great with logic. He always is coming up with ideas to feed Dead End Studios creativity. He is a great soundboard and has many great ideas to structure unique films. If there is a problem brining the script to life he is the one Tatiana goes to.

SUPPORTERS

Mary Lou and Charles K, Paul and Melissa F, Tiffany K, Ashley M, Brieanna, Joe N, Heather M, and all the others, thank you so much for your support at the fundraisers and in general. Once photos are submitted bios will be posted!

Jon Wesley

Jon used to film horror films when he was younger and he loved to do special FX makeup on his cast. Sadly his dream faded away because of life. He still loves horror and reads about new and old films, collects memorabilia and knows a thing or two on how the masters "did that". Despite how he was unable to keep with filming he met Tatiana years later and learned about Dead End Studios. His dreams and his fascination with horror rekindled, he is now helping out Dead End Studios with fundraisers.

Roger Hall

Roger and Tatiana met the same time Jon met her. Roger truly has a business man's mind but he also is an out-of-the-box thinker which is always welcome in the film business. He aids the studio with reaching excellent deals with stores as well as linking them to fundraiser programs and other fund building strategies.
