Co-Founder & Administrative Director
Ellis Carmichael-Willins (he/him)
is a multi-disciplinary artist from Cleveland, Ohio. Working as a Stage Manager for Gender Fucked Productions: Queer Dance Freakout, Ellis has found that structure is just as vital to the creative process at the content being put out.
While studying Acting at Roosevelt University, Ellis discovered a passion for writing and directing, prompting his swift exit from the program and into the tender arms of freelance work. Not too long after was he the Co-Founder of ‘Mount Productions’ and Director of ‘Incubus’ (2024). Making his visions come to life on screen for everyone to enjoy is what drives him forward.

She stars in the short film ‘Indulgence’ (2023) and the soon to be released ‘Incubus’ (2024). In her spare time, Krista is teaching kids about the arts at Lifeline Theatre. Krista believes in creating art that is magical and otherworldly, which can be seen across all her work. When not creating, Krista is an Operations Leader at Nothing Bundt Cakes.

Project Manager
Leo Rionnach Martin (he/him)
is a proud production designer and art director, as well as a sound/lighting technician who loves to balance both the creative and the technical. Leo foumd his beginnings studying acting, music and theater technology right outside of Cleveland, Ohio.
After moving across state lines to attend the University of Illinois at Chicago, Leo moved on to work at About Face Theater before ultimately stepping back from performance to concentrate on his passion for art direction and design.
