Mission Statement

Over the last few years, Satyendra has been the director of five short films. The first was done while he was still in college for a media art showcase, two were produced with a former colleague of mine at their film studio, where he also contributed too many of their projects from 2020 to 2023. Satyendra independently produced a horror short film in 2024 and launched his new production company Tabla Drum Productions.

 The biggest thing is trying to maintain ego, including your own, so that way everyone is on the same page and has an equal vision to get the best version of a film made for audiences to enjoy. Satyendra says that producing this most recent project has been the most fun with people that he can really rely on and feel comfortable around. 

Anna has always been very involved with the arts. Growing up around tattooing, she started her apprenticeship at 17 before her senior year of high school. She now tattoos full time in Elizabeth City, where she also creates art from her different passions- jewelry, hand engraved glass, paintings, and more. She has jumped around learning many many different hobbies and mediums since being a young child and is very excited to be able to pursue her art as a career.

Krista has been baking for as long as she can remember. After moving to North Carolina, she longed for a good sourdough bread, so she began making it herself. After giving away loaves, Krista started receiving orders which snowballed into starting my own micro-bakery. She loves to educate people about the health benefits of sourdough and how to incorporate it into everyday recipes that everyone will love.

Maddox likes to do many things that are in the creative space. In his words, "If its in the arts Ive tried it or thought of trying it. I make digital art through character designs, set pieces, and I have been trying to improve my skills in background art; I want to try to do animation and I'm open to trying comic art. I also like traditional 2d art, often with a mechanical pencil, but I've also done watercolor, acrylic paint, pastels, colored pencils, linoprint, and markers. I've also made clay art, mostly pottery and have painted and glazed my works; I prefer pinch pottery."

Jared worked with COAST Players for 3 years performing and stage managing productions. He helped to train the stage manager to follow him, as well. Jared has worked on theoretical stage design and have taken classes for production practices and stage combat, but have had limited to no opportunity to apply these skills. He has worked at the Director of photography on a short film and has been approached to direct, write, and produce with that company.
