BIO ~ Diane Dean  

Special effects makeup artist 

I was born in Tucson, but I grew up in a military family. I mostly grew up in South Jersey and Seattle.  
 
I graduated from Mountain View HS.  I am almost done with my Communications degree from Pima, and I am a self-taught special effects makeup artist since 2020  

I started practicing makeup in 2020. I got my start by cosplaying and modeling to practice. Then in 2023, I got my first official movie gig working with Alan Williams on 10Ft DOWN.  
 
From there, I was able to network and worked on various indie projects and worked on some episodes for a series called  
A Kind of Mystery where I also started acting. 

I do special FX makeup; I am a Twisted Angels model and an occasional actress.  
I can get work by networking and having other friends contact me for whatever work they need done.

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.
