Marissa Parness - ACTRESS - "Emily
Waters"
Recent graduate of the musical theatre program at circle in the square
theatre school in New York, Marissa Parness, in many ways, made the film
possible. In every scene Marissa left her heart and soul on the screen
and I will be forever grateful for her week in week out effort. If every
experience in working with someone is this easy – I cannot wait
to make more films. She is currently seeking representation in New York
City.

Jesse Cowell - WRITER/DIRECTOR
Jesse, known as "Jeskid" on the webernets has been making
films intensely for the past sixteen years. His goal is to give people the
gift of movies he got as a child and hopefully bring them back to where
they should be. He has a real love of people (I do really!) and always encourages
all around him to throw caution into the wind and go for it.. In his spare
time - wait he has no life outside of sitting in front of this computer
:)

Erica Langworthy - ANIMATOR
Her utter commitment from day one convinced Jesse that this film was even
possible to make. Not a week has passed that she has not come up with
an innovative design, crafted a shot to give it a more intense slant or
help out by designing make-up on set. Using her Art background combined
with everything digital, Erica is sure to be someone in high demand soon.
The only drawn back to having someone this talented is knowing you will
lose them to better opportunities. She certainly deserves it.

Matt Sisco - COMPOSER - "Resurection" and "Nineveh"
If I could clone this guy I would. Matt creates a large part of
the original music for DBP (including the opening) and gives many of the
episodes the sound that drives them foward. A really great collaborater,
I see nothing but good things for this young talented musician.

Andrew Blessing - VOICE ACTOR - "Morsus"
Andrew came onto the project as a fan/friend of Jesse Cowell's work. Upon
hearing Andrew's voice over a chat room Microphone - Andrew was immediately
signed to have him play the voice role of the demonic "Morsus".
Andrew, an avid comic, movie and video game fan fit right into the role
as he delivered the voice that would give life to a central character
in "Drawn By Pain". |

Steven Bordelon - CREATIVE CONSULTANT
There are several pieces of the puzzle that always make projects
like this work and one of the major elements is Steve Bordelon and his
numerous skillsets. Steve has helped with everything from script notes
to Sound Design. He is a tireless team member and awesome Director in
his own right (with his award winning film "Phoenix"). Having
helped Produce Jesse's last feature "Shades of Gray" - Steve
has truly made himself an invaluable asset for many years.

Victor Gonzalez - CREATIVE CONSULTANT
Victor's contribution is hard to describe as he'll do anything
to help keep things moving. From a top level, Victor helped make a lot
of the key decisions that went into planning the film. From the ground
floor, he sat through editing sessions and offer invaluable advice. He
even came to the shoots to make sure everyone and everything is safe.
He is another long time friend (and cast member of "Shades of Gray")
who makes it all tick. If surrounding yourself with good people is the
key to success, I (Jes) must already be successful :)

smarter. He is helping to run the base of operations around here and make
sure we are able to reach as many people as we can with our little (BIG!)
film. He is also working on making things more fun and interactive as
we go and I thank him from way down for all the support.
