Aisling Walsh studied Fine Art at the Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art Design and Technology. There was no film course there at that time but there was a film appreciation society that she joined and through this she developed an interest in filmmaking and started making her own short movies. The year following her graduation she worked in a shop to get the money together to go to the National Film School in Beaconsfield. As Ashling felt there was no real film industry in Ireland then, she continued to live in and work in England. She had a number of projects financed there and also got regular work in television.
Ashling has previously made two quite controversial films Joyriders and Sinners. Song for a Raggy Boy is based on the true story by Patrick Galvin and is set in the late 1930s. The film centres around a lay teacher (Aidan Quinn) who joins an Irish Reformatory school and doesn't like what he sees. He has to find the courage to stand up and fight against the tough regime.- Director

Growing up in Cranston, Rhode Island, Alexandra was a shy child who buried her nose in books, art and sports. It was not until she was placed in a theater production at school, at the age of 10, that she had ever been on stage. She discovered during her stint as Susan B Anthony that if she improvised her lines everyone in the audience laughed. The thrill of knowing that people were laughing at her antics gave her the immediate acting bug.
She spent her years in school keeping her dream of acting guarded, instead focusing on singing in an international choir, running, playing soccer and academics. It was not until she arrived at college that she realized she could finally pursue her dream of acting. She landed her first audition for the dramatic society on campus and became a regular fixture in their stage productions. A visiting director encouraged Alexandra to seek out acting opportunities outside the campus and she began appearing in productions throughout Boston.
When she returned back home to Rhode Island, Alexandra began competing in the Miss America and Miss USA pageant systems. These pageants offered her the opportunity to perform, model and make connections in the entertainment industry.
Upon graduating college, after studying biology and chemistry, Alexandra landed a job at a prestigious biotechnology company. It was then she began dividing her time between the job and her acting. She currently can be found residing in Rhode Island, modeling, making movies, and making waves.- Writer

Amy Lynn Best is a trained dancer and actress who started in the business by co-producing the independent feature horror film, The Resurrection Game, and co-stars as the pop psychologist turned zombie exterminator, Sister Mary Bliss. Like many independent film producers, Amy learned the film business from the ground up. On the short haunted house film Tenants, for instance, Amy studied cinematographer from that film's director of photography, Bill Fuller. Out of necessity, she learned the basics of grip work, camera operation, and the fine art of line producing. In addition to acting in and producing The Resurrection Game, Amy served the film as art director, additional photographer and craft services. On one shooting date in particular, she fed the cast and crew two specially-made lasagnas, then denied herself her nourishment due to the fact that she still had to go before the camera in a skin-tight leather-and-spandex costume. Born in Topeka, Kansas but raised as a Pittsburgh native, Amy studied acting and dancing since she was three years old. She has acted or worked on many films and made her feature directorial debut on Happy Cloud Pictures' Severe Injuries. Amy's most notable cameo is in Paul Scrabo's Dr. Horror's Erotic House of Idiots, a funny parody of the b-movie industry starring Debbie Rochon. An outspoken advocate for women in the horror industry, Amy co-created the Women in Horror Website Pretty-Scary.net- Actress

Amy McCullough and Jimmie Buchanan Jr. have been making movies and music together for over a decade. Their projects have ranged from twisted love stories starring demon babies, murderous beasts, and misguided cowboys to absurd action movies with wiener-roasting geishas and cocaine-selling clowns. But no matter how ridiculous the cast of characters, every story is thoughtfully told and executed with a workmanlike seriousness.
The most unusual thing about their productions is that Amy and Jimmie do everything themselves, including writing, directing, cinematography, editing, set creation, soundtracks, makeup, special effects and more. They do this outside of full-time jobs and on their own dime simply because they love being creative together and think the results are awesome.
Amy and Jimmie live with their dog, Dexter, in Austin, Texas, where they are thankful for the abundance of tacos, the free day shows of South by Southwest, and the family of toads inhabiting their backyard. Most people find it interesting that they once lived on a small sailboat and that their only phone is a land line.- Producer
