Marissa Parness 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.

Andrew Blessing 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".
Jesse Cowell

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 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 Matt Sisco - COMPOSER - "Nineveh" and "Morsus theme"
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.

Matthias Wiesen and Band Man Inc. - MUSICIANS - "A World So Cold"
I first found Matt and Bad Man Inc's work on the popular site Newgrounds.com. The first time I heard "A World so Cold" I knew it had the soul of the character story I was trying to tell buried within every chord. Easy to work with, despite Matt (music) and BMI's (Lyrics and vocals) living in different countries, their passion to get it right has given the film an element that fits perfectly.

Victor Gonzalez

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 :)

Charles Parra Charles Parra - ONLINE CONSULTANT
Charles brings the X-factor to everything web. It's like I (Jes) went out and found someone who could fill in all my dumb gaps and make me seem 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.
