DANI FAITH LEONARD
Dani Faith Leonard is an actress and writer based in NYC. Recent favorite roles include Barbara Walters and a Fundamentalist Christian stripper, just escaped from the compound. She is a founding member of Broads & Wenches - the sexy girl group of NYC sketch comedy (BroadsandWenches.com) and can be seen writing and performing with the sketch comedy troupe Really Sketchy (ReallySketchy.com). Her first TV gig was singing back-up for Kenny G. on Good Morning America when she was 14. Obviously, Dani sent Kenny G. on his amazing journey of success and she can't enter an elevator with Kenny's music blaring without feeling the overwhelming outpouring of grattitude from the American public. You're welcome, America.
In June 2008, she launched Industry Power Play, a media venture that produces a series of monthly film screenings and events for the independent film and performing arts community of NYC. In May 2010, Dani and business partner Alex Cirillo will launch BigVisionEmptyWallet.com, an online magazine for independent film in NY.

ALEX CIRILLO
After graduating from Loyola College in Maryland and not finding gainful employment, Alex Cirillo started her own production company, Cirillo Productions, as a way of creating a brand for her work. Juggling her first solo video projects, a job in London as the Assistant to the Director and Producers on Clive Barker's DREAD and sporadic work as a Production Assistant for Nickelodeon, she came to the realization that freelancing wasn't the best way for an aspiring artist to eat. Sights set on more than a slice of pizza for dinner, she decided it was time to inundate the interweb with her resume. Eventually Craigslist came through and Alex was pleased to accept a position as Office Manager at Washington Square Arts and Films where she works on commercials, television shows and films. Alex also recently partnered with Dani Faith Leonard, the founder of Industry Power Play, to help expand the company and take it to the next level while taking advantage of all the opportunities it has to offer.
