Bio ~ Elizabeth von Isser
A multi-hyphenate actor/writer/producer Elizabeth has over 30 film credits to her name. Originally a Midwest girl, she arrived in Tucson in 1984 to pursue a career as a manufacturing engineer but never lost her desire to perform.
Her first shot at film acting in 2013 sparked an interest that has grown into a passion. She recently wrote her first feature-length screenplay which has won five awards and will begin filming this spring. She was married to her best friend for over 35 yrs.
I satisfied my love of acting for many years by performing in a faith-based community theatre troupe and was the Director of Drama at my church. I got my first film acting gig quite by accident. In 2013, one of my church drama team members had been cast as a news anchor in an independent feature film being shot locally but at the last moment was unable to fulfill her commitment. She convinced the producer and director that she knew of someone who could step into the role – and I accepted the challenge! I arrived on set having never seen the sides or script or ever acted on camera before – knowing only that I needed to bring wardrobe choices that fit a news anchor position. I had 20 minutes to memorize the paragraph, and then…lights, camera, action!
That one experience birthed a new passion in me – film acting. I loved the subtleties of acting in front of a camera and immediately started searching for training and experience on set. I have now acted in numerous features, shorts, and commercials. In 2020 when Covid shut down the world, I expanded my training and experience to include voice acting – scripted audio dramas are my current“lane”. I also voice a lead character in an award-winning Soap Opera podcast (now recording its fifth season) and a supporting character in three additional audio dramas.

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.
