BIO ~ Brianna Young 

Actress/Film Director 

From Bakersfield, CA. I started commercial/film acting at 14 years old. I went to the Los Angeles Film School for screenwriting and directing. I worked at Paramount Studios for Dr. Phil, The Doctors, Face the Truth. I moved to Southern Arizona in 2021 and I’ve been making feature films here.  

From acting in feature films like Fast & Furious 7, to dancing in Travis Scott music videos, I had always wanted to write movies and be a part of those stories, so I made my first feature length movie: “Bloomfield”, now streaming on amazon prime.  I won best director at Houston Horror Film Festival in 2021, and went on to make my second feature length movie “Wrangle Town.” I am also a film/media/theater high school teacher.  

I write, produce, and direct feature length movies under my production company “Rural Ranch Productions.” I am also just starting to branch out to produce commercials, while still acting in other movies.

About Zach Rhein:

Zachary or Zach for most people is originally from Spokane, Washington and developed a love of the arts at an early age. One of my earliest experiences making movies was helping on a music video a friend.  

I then moved down to Tucson, AZ where I continued my love of the arts and joined the theater department. While I didn’t pursue acting I rediscovered my love of filmmaking and am ready to become the local mogul. 

While I may not have decades of experience handling a full fledge business, I make up for it in my drive and determination and am willing to learn from the school of hard knocks. 

My current business is In Flight Productions, a local film production company ready to make high quality movies of all genres that give people a chance to see themselves in the movie.
