SARA MARAFFINO concentrates on being the best she can be at her craft and setting herself apart from the rest with her honest, uninhibited approach to dissecting and becoming the character. Sara's rich emotional life and reckless abandonment lends itself beautifully to the often damaged and layered characters she has come to play in gritty dramas, soap operas and black comedies in recent years. Characters including a female-to-male pre-op transgender struggling to find his place in an non accepting society and the ramifications of reassignment surgery while nursing his lover in the final stages of AIDS, an addict dying for something to live for, and a woman fighting to keep her husband at any cost even if it means prostituting herself for his benefit.

Having studied in NYC with some of the city's well respected and most stringent teachers, she prides herself on her professionalism and her tunnel vision on making the project the best it can be through honest and pure experiences.

She went on to star as Joy in Shadowlands (again, directed by Ms. Blankenship), Marion in I Came To New York To Write at the Organic, the "Mother Abbess" in The Adventures of Herculina, at Next and Frederico Lorca's The Public for Streetsigns at The Chopin.

JONATHON WALSMAN - "I was born in the small town of Batesville , IN, best known for being the casket manufacturing capital of the world. From the time I can remember I wanted to break out of there and become an actor. Attended Indiana University where I studied drama and theater and got a degree in business. Shortly thereafter, I moved to the Miami area, joined various theatre groups and got the opportunity to do some great plays including Hurlyburly and some Shakespeare, and strengthened my passion for the work. I was also able to break into my first film work while there.

Due to family issues I moved back to the Midwest in 2004 but ached for the world of acting and film and in 2006 I took the plunge and moved to Los Angeles, where I've been studying with a theatre group specializing in method acting and doing several film and theatre projects. I am ecstatic to be a part of Wildcat Road in the role of "Tug"! I have one younger sister who lives in New York and my father is back in Indiana. My mother unfortunately is no longer with us but she is from whom my creative passion comes. When I'm not working, I enjoy music, books, and the outdoors."

JOHN CARROZZA and DOUG PRINZIVALLI were both born in Brooklyn, NY but knew they would land in Hollywood one day, even before they met each other 16 years ago.

John's love for the film industry has led to a career working for several major studios but his obsession for all things weird and wonderful led him to produce the independent feature film Socket.

Doug has been an award-winning Graphic Designer for the entertainment industry for over 20 years, working on projects for TV networks and film studios including stints at Showtime and Disney. Doug segued into Production Design and Props for a number of exciting indie film projects (Cook-Off!, Shattered, Rope Burn, Pornography: A Thriller) and was on staff in the art department on Lifetime's sitcom Lovespring International, as well as the pilot for the hit series Samantha Who? and the feature film GET SMART.

In 2006, John and Doug decided to form a production company - Velvet Candy Entertainment, LLC., which they established to help create independent feature film and television projects, where the sexuality of the main characters is incidental to the story. Their goal is to tell unique and compelling stories with strong crossover appeal. Socket was John and Doug's first stab at co-producing a feature, but they have completed several other projects including the short films Screening Party, and Reunion, which was funded by the HBO SHOUT Short Film Competition.
