Cast & Crew
Sara Rose Wasson
Sara Rose spent her childhood in Los Angeles and her adolescence in Santa Fe. Surrounded by various aspects of the entertainment industry since birth, she got as far away from it as she could at 18, spending most of her 20's living in Ireland and overseas, only to find that, 17 years later (let's face it) Show Biz is where she belongs!
She's happy to be back at it after many years of travel and adventure. She loves to write, sing, act, make art and get inspired.
An award winning screenwriter, her writing and music are a combined passion, as well as collaborating with her like minded creative pals. Her favorite part of the collaborative process is the momentum, motivation, humility, and accountability it generates and inevitably requires.
Francisco Cronin
Francisco has always loved movies! He's been interested in acting since childhood and recently took the plunge to start learning the craft. Originally from Cincinnati, he now lives in Albuquerque, where he works in the film industry.
He likes baking cookies, playing mandolin, working out, and hanging with his cat, Martin Yum-Yum.
His favorite part of the collaborative process is being in an environment where everyone can weigh in on every part of the filmmaking process and all have their ideas taken seriously.
Allie Stone
Originally from California, Allie found a home in New Mexico and a family its burgeoning film industry. She is a regular stand-in on Netflix's new medical show.

Samantha Shen
I was born and raised in the Bay Area of California. I grew up singing to The Phantom of the Opera. I truly fell in love with performing in middle school when I joined my school’s Drama club. I’ve continued performing in plays and musicals ever since. I booked the role of Fumiko in the play, True Nature of All Being, in 2022. This role enabled me to join the Actors Equity Association. Now, I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The film scene here is growing and thriving! I believe I will be an invaluable asset in this market.
I've also had a fortunate run in the commercial world so far. In 2019, I booked a nationwide LensCrafters print commercial campaign, which ran in LensCrafters stores across the US & Canada. In 2021, I booked a Super Bowl Covid-19 Vaccine ad that aired across New Mexico. I love the camaraderie of being on a set and with other creative minds. When people put their amazing brains together, it can produce magical results!

Alex Lavidge
I first got started in film at the San Francisco School of Digital Filmmaking (2007) and since then have been producing and co-creating films with SofaCouch MovieFilms (www.SofaCouchMovieFilms.com) which competed in a lot of local film competitions back in my hometown of Knoxville, TN. My primary passion is science fiction/solarpunk storytelling (I'm working on a graphic novel at the moment off and on as a hobby) and I prefer to work on films that are upbeat, inspirational, and insightful.
I also have trained at the Bay Area Theater Sports (improv comedy) in San Francisco, CA and love doing standup when I can, too.
I think when we collaborate, we can all rise together.
Zaqueriah Pacheco
I was born in Silver City NM and have lived in Montana, Portland OR and the Albuquerque area for a combined 20 years. I’ve worked in film since Operation Group hug (The Avengers) and Breaking Bad Season 3 back in 2009 and love being on a set! I have a background in improv as well as on camera work and have also done small theater shows and enjoy playing music in my free time. I’m lucky to be the father of two beautiful children and just want to help create a future for them to be excited about!
