Cast

Alex Sarrigeorgiou

Lead

Alex Sarrigeorgiou is an actor, writer, and filmmaker based in New York City.

She's half Greek, half Romanian, and grew up in Athens, Greece. Alex brings her love of poetry to her work as a filmmaker, telling lyrical stories about personal transformation and existential despair, with female and queer experiences at the center. Her short films include Con Spirito, inspired by the college years of poet Elizabeth Bishop, Grip, Cave People, and A Little Body, A Little Earth. See more of Alex’s work here.

John Kroner

Lead

A NJ native dedicated to expressing the authenticity at the heart of every role, with an emphasis on truth and honesty in every performance. He grew up doing strictly theater, acting in plays and taking classes for many years before starting any film work, which was always his main pursuit. When not acting, he writes, records, and performs original music to further convey the experiences of life.

Kate Legere

supporting

Kate’s love of film began the day her dad bought his first camcorder. She’d gather the neighborhood kids and cast them in music videos, filmed school projects, and other small productions. These days, she works in the Philadelphia and NYC area. Kate’s greatest honor is the roles that have been written specifically for her, including her lead roles in Portrait of the Artist, and Not With a Bang, as well as her role of Phoebe in the recent SAG production, WeNation. See more of Kate’s work here.
