Meghan Scibona - Producer, Director
A native of New York , Meghan Scibona is a director, producer and actor. She directed and produced a short, Roulette Night, which was shown at the Austin Gay & Lesbian Film Festival and the Queens International Film Festival in 2006. Her shorts Aural Fixation, F*^kin’ Calamari and The Remodel have been shown at Manhattan screenings.

Meghan just finished her first HD short film called SCUM, about performance art, guns, Andy Warhol, fame, the internet, and the persuasive power of sex… lots and lots of sex. SCUM asks the question, what would you do for your 15 minutes of fame. See the details and answer the question at: areyouscum.com

Meghan recently spoke on a panel at South by Southwest in Austin in March: “When Does User Generated Content Become Independent Filmmaking?”

Meghan and her husband screenwriter Jason Nunes are in development for their first feature with their film company, Girl with a Gun Productions.

Jason Nunes - Writer & Actor
New York born, bi-costal wannabe Jason is a 10+ year veteran of the film/TV universe. In the 90s Jason lived in LA and worked on some of the worst straight to video horror films ever made before moving to San Francisco to become a broadcast designer. He then traveled to NYC for love (and work) and became quickly addicted to writing.

Jason is an award winning New York based screenwriter, author, and playwright. Awards/Festivals: Samuel French One Act Festival Critique’s Choice Award, AIVF Screenwriter’s Mentorship Program winner, Santa Fe Writer’s Project finalist, Screenwriter’s Dig finalist, The Writer’s Place Screenplay Contest 2nd place, Acclaim Screenwriting Competition finalist, Screenwriting Expo Semi-finalist, Queens International Film Festival Official Selection, Page Awards quarter finalist. Two of Jason’s feature film scripts, “Resurrection Men” and “Pursuit of Property” are currently in pre-production. Look for them in 2007.

Jason’s work has been called “Deliciously funny and revolting…”

Don Downie - Director of Photography
Originally from Detroit, Don Downie studied acting and directing at Michigan State University, before he moved to New York City and started his real studies in the “school of off-off-Broadway.” Don has performed in more than two-dozen theatrical productions on the New York stage, including the long-running indie hit FUNBOX Times Square.

Don most recently appeared onscreen in the lead role of the film The Judas Kiss at the 2006 Monaco International Film Festival, and the lead in Left Hook at the Stop, Drop, & Roll screening in Manhattan.

Mr. Downie’s filmmaking endeavors include directing the independent TV pilot Twenty-Anything, direction of the short films The Record and I Spy Something Yellow, and cinematography for several other shorts. He is currently in post-production for podOpera, the love child of a podcast and a soap opera.

Don is co-founder and creative director of the PROfessional ACTors’ collectIVE — a project incubator and think-tank for entrepreneurial actors. He and Stacie Leigh Scaduto own and operate the world’s smallest media empire: ScenePartners Cinema.

Stacie Capone - Actor
Stacie Capone emigrated to New York from Moscow… Pennsylvania. She graduated from Fordham University at Lincoln Center, with a BA in Theatre.

Stacie’s recent film credits include the lead role of Zoe in Left Hook (in which she punches out a floozy) and a lead in Aural Fixation (in which she punches out a yuppie). She played the very sympathetic role of Lynn (and punched out nobody) in the feature film Delusions of Grandeur, which screened in Manhattan in June, 2006. Stacie produced and starred in the independent television pilot Twenty-Anything.

Recent theatre roles include Shannon in the New York premiere of Patrick Brennan’s play Bits, Peggy in Neil Simon’s Come Blow Your Horn, and Jean in David’s Redhaired Death.

Stacie is one of the co-founders and managing director of the PROfessional ACTors’ collectIVE, and, along with Don Downie and trusty mascot Lucy Peanut, owns and operates ScenePartners Cinema.

Lucy - Mascot
Lucy Peanut is a dog. Originally from Missouri, she moved to New York City at the age of 8 weeks and immediately took the helm as the mascot at ScenePartners Cinema.

Lucy’s acting work includes the role of “Dog on the Street” in a current television campaign for Dale & Thomas popcorn. She can also be heard as that peculiar whining noise in the background of the last scene of podOpera episode 3.

Lucy is untested as a filmmaker, but aspires to someday: a.) Win the first Oscar to be awarded for the crew credit “best dog” in a feature film; b.) Eat the camera.
