GREG BROCK: (Writer/Producer/Director)
Gregory W. Brock began writing screenplays when he was a teenager, starting with a script entitled, “Juggles.” In 2004, he launched Silver Chain Films and filmed “Juggles,” building the path towards his filmmaking dreams. Shortly after “Juggles,” “Redneck Fury” was born. He then began entering 48 hour film contests in Louisville (2006 and 2007), where he developed a friendship with Jacob Ennis of Tuckywood Productions. Since that time, Greg and Jacob have competed in two straight 48 hour film projects (2007 and 2008) with “48 Hour Massacre” and “Tea Party,” and have written two scripts together: “To Kill a Janitor” and “Red River,” which is currently available from Bloody Earth Films. Another screenplay in the horror genre is in the works. In 2008, Greg filmed a few shorts: “Disheveled,” “Midnight Hour” and “Scratchoffs.” He also participated in several projects with other filmmakers, which include: “Shoot The Moon” and “Room 110” with DBC Entertainment, ZP International’s “Bunker of Blood” and “Hell-ephone,” as well as “The Legacy” with Jason Crowe. There are several projects on Greg’s plate in 2011, including a remake of “Juggles.” It promises to be a great year for Silver Chain Films. See news and updates from Silver Chain at silverchainfilms.com.

After DMR, Jason went on to star in ZP International’s “Hell-ephone,” alongside genre veterans Ari Lehman (Jason from the original “Friday The 13th”) and John Dugan (Grandpa from the original “Texas Chainsaw Massacre”). Jason also starred in “Little Sex Shop of Horrors” and the newly released “Red River,” as the cannibalistic savage Hamburger Head! Jason can currently be seen in Stephen Zimmer’s “Swordbearer.”
Since breaking into film as an actor, Jason has also found himself behind the scenes, making his directorial debut with the 80’s slasher homage “The Legacy.” “The Legacy” also stars Crowe, Roni Jonah (who co-wrote and co-directed the film), professional wrestling legend Al Snow and indie film veterans Jim O’Rear (“The Deepening”) and Daniel Emery Taylor (“The Return Of Swamp Thing”).
Crowe’s second film as actor/director is the horror feature, “Hell House.” “Hell House” was filmed inside Kentucky and Indiana’s largest and most frightening haunted attractions, Industrial Nightmare and the Haunted Hotel. HH stars Crowe, Jonah, Snow, O’Rear, Taylor, model and indie horror star Stacey Dixon, 5 time MMA champion and hall of famer Dale Miller and female wrestling star April Hunter.

RONI JONAH
Impossible to ignore, “Rock Star” Roni Jonah has journeyed among some of the most outrageous worlds in existence: rock ‘n roll, pro-wrestling, and horror films!
A popular Ohio Valley Wrestling personality, Roni was best known as the manager of Mike Mizanin (WWE’s The Miz). She was also a dynamic competitor, mixing it up with several of the sport’s best female stars, including Victoria, Beth Phoenix, Shelly “Ariel” Martinez, Daffney, and Kelly Kelly. Roni never backed down from men, either, confronting many of wrestling’s top names, including Elijah Burke. She also got a (non-consensual) gigantic wet kiss from WWE legend The Big Show for her trouble!
Before ever stepping into the ring, Roni perfected her “Rock Star” persona as bassist for the underground band Gothic Mayhem. She was actually able to meld this into her wrestling career, often smashing her bass over an opponent’s head.
Not content to own just the stage and the ring, she has recently made the transition to the silver screen. She made her film debut in ZP International’s “Hell-ephone,” alongside genre veterans Ari Lehman (Jason from the original “Friday The 13th”), John Dugan (Grandpa from the original “Texas Chainsaw Massacre”), Jim O’Rear (“The Deepening”), Daniel Emery Taylor (“The Return Of Swamp Thing”), and Alex Del Monacco (former Playboy Playmate). From there, she appeared in independent favorites such as “Little Sex Shop Of Horrors”, “Steam Punk” and “Red River.”
Roni has continued her film career as one of the core members of Feathered Italian Films www.feathereditalianfilms.com, making her directorial debut with the acclaimed short “Trepan.” She also had a big hand in the production of FIF’s premier feature film “The Legacy” and its sequel, “Hell House,” handling co-directing duties, writing, special effects, and acting in both films. Not content to sit on the sidelines, Roni is attacking cinema with the same voracity she used in the wrestling ring directing her next two films “Lesferatu: Lesbian Chain Saw Vampires” and “The Zombie Movie”!

DICK STARR: (Artist)
Dubbed “One of the 15 sickest artists in America” by Girls and Corpses Magazine, Dick Starr has embedded himself nicely into the horror community. Born right before Halloween in 1978 on the island of Oahu, Dick has always had a fondness for horror and the macabre. Add to his bloody drawings a twisted sense of humor, and you’ll understand why his early art got sent home by teachers on a regular basis.
In 2003, after studying Sequential Art at the Savannah College of Art and Design, Dick Starr began doing art professionally. Starting off with tattoos, portraits and logo design for private clients, small businesses and websites, he eventually got picked up by Ghetto Skateboards for several custom pieces. Since then, Dick’s work has been featured in numerous galleries, magazines, books, album covers and comics around the world.
In late 2006, Dick began picking off famous idiots with “The Celebrity Death Poll”…a rotating list of awful celebrities up for an artistic execution. In less than one year, The Celebrity Death Poll became a regular feature in Girls and Corpses Magazine. Currently, Starr’s resume boasts clients like fighters from the UFC, Full Tilt Poker, Suicide Girls and legendary producer/director Charles Band. If you aren’t already familiar with Dick Starr’s nightmarish creations…you will be. Consider yourself warned.
