She is the only daughter of two European immigrants making her first generation American. She speaks four languages fluently, though she didn't speak a single word until she was two. Her half German, half Sicilian, honorary French mother was officially knighted in 2015 into the National Order of the Legion of Honour, the highest French order for military and civil merits, for her 20+ years of exceptional charity work helping French and American children. Her father is an Emmy award nominated documentary producer.
Kristina attended an all girls Catholic high school in NYC and split most of her teenage years between playing the piano, horseback riding and taking after school acting classes. She also used to read for the blind. She was accepted early and graduated from Dartmouth College cum laude with a major in Politics and a minor in Theater/Film. She continued her theater studies at the Eugene O'Neill National Theater Institute and recently attended the Grad Film Program at NYU Tisch to get her masters in directing.
Although Kristina's acting career started with her first and still greatest love, the theater (she performed on numerous Off-Broadway stages in NYC, including the prestigious Public Theater, Soho Rep and MTC), she is most known for her performance as the sassy, foul-mouthed Lynda in Rob Zombie's 2007 remake of Halloween, which has cemented her as an icon in the horror genre and garnered her a large fan base. In 2013, Kristina received much praise for her depiction of the tough-as-nails psychopath Anika in Zack Parker's TIFF hit Proxy. In December 2015, The New York Times chose her film Dementia, which she also cast, as New York Times Critics Pic of the Week and her performance in the lead role of Michelle was likened to Kathy Bates in Misery.

Kristina has managed to work as both a character actor and leading lady in over 50 productions of film and television in both the US and Europe. She has appeared across genres and platforms in horror movies, thrillers, musicals, comedies and numerous procedural dramas, working with the likes of Spike Lee, Kevin Hart, Neil Marshall, Tom DiCillo, Griffin Dunne and Darren Lynn Bousman. She often works with the same directors twice (Milan Todorovic, Mike Mendez, Rob Zombie, Adam Green and Marcos Siega) and has graced the cover of MAXIM (caveat: in Serbia).
Kristina's most recent trend is playing kick-ass detectives. Neil Marshall (Constantine, Game of Thrones, Doomsday) first cast her as Detective McNally in his episode of Tales of Halloween (2015 Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes) "Bad Seed." She then played Detective Pierce across from 80s action star Dolph Lundgren in the Mike Mendez helmed Don't Kill It (to be released 2016/2017), and just wrapped the lead detective role, Detective Martin, in Kevin Shulman's Marvista Studios produced amnesia thriller.
As a director, Kristina has produced and been the videographer on shoots in Hawaii, Haiti and Nicaragua as well as NY and LA. She has shot over a dozen open heart surgeries for organizations such as Doctors without Borders, Surgeons of Hope and Open Heart Haiti. Kristina's directorial debut short film "As Human As Animal" starring Diamond Dallas Page played in competition at Sitges and was bought by FEARnet. She produced and directed an ad campaign for the vape company Henley and most recently directed a female MMA fight on the phantom camera - part of which was shot as VR and showcased at Sundance 2016 as the first ever 1000fps VR piece.
On the side, she has been working with a charity called French-American Aid for Children for over 10 years while also acting as a volunteer and foster parent at Best Friends Animal Society and Much Love Animal Rescue.

Nominated "Best Leading Actress" for her role in the film "Pure Justice", actress Lunden De'Leon has starred in over 50 movies and television shows. Some women are go-getters. Some women are business-minded. Some women use their struggles as building blocks for their success. Lunden De'Leon are all of these things.
According to dictionary.com an entrepreneur is a person "who organizes and manages any enterprise, especially a business, usually with considerable initiative and risk." In a perfect world, a smiling picture of the stunning De'Leon would accompany this impressively apt definition.
Barbados born, South Carolina-bred, De'Leon had her fair share of ups and downs before she came to be known as the powerhouse she is now. After a brief stint as a Burger King employee as a teenager, De'Leon, who was bitten by the entertainment bug after seeing her gospel-singer father perform, decided to pursue her dreams and found herself in Hollywood, homeless and with only $200 to her name.
Through a roommate, who would offset things in De'Leon's life in ways she could never imagine, things began looking up. After attending a model calling, De'Leon, whose motivation was solely to overcome her "hungry and penniless" state at the time, she not only booked the audition, but scored a one-year modeling contract the same day.
Not long thereafter, De'Leon made her small screen debut on the hit series Vital Signs, - filmed in Los Angeles, but broadcast in Germany - in which she starred as a young woman trying to make it in the United States, a storyline not too far off from the rising star's own life. De'Leon continued to make a name for herself with a host of subsequent movie and television appearances, including the NBC sitcom, Just Shoot Me!
De'Leon's biggest break, however, came in 2003 when she launched her very own record label, Dirrty Records. Upon the label's success in its home of Los Angeles, a second branch was set up in South Carolina, where the entrepreneur still calls home.
With an eclectic roster of artists signed to the label, including Seattle-based punk band The Slumps and the British indie rock quartet, The Fades, whose music has already been featured on the NBC hits "Life" and "Friday Night Lights," De'Leon proved that she was an innovative force to be reckoned with.
And people took notice.
What followed was a mention in New York-based hip hop magazine The Ave, vaunting De'Leon as "one of the most significant women in entertainment" and in 2004, an induction into the Caribbean Hall of Fame, alongside reggae legend Bob Marley and acting great Sidney Poitier.
Since then, De'Leon, who also received her own day (February 7) in Los Angeles as proclaimed by former mayor James K. Hahn, has made sure not to rest on her laurels.
Recently, De'Leon started her own movie production company, Palmetto Film Studios in Marion, South Carolina, which distributes between five and seven films a year. In addition to that, De'Leon started The Lunden De'Leon Foundation, where she encourages young children to follow their dreams, in just the determined way she did.- Actress

- Rachelle Wood was born to Mark and Judy Wood in Glendale, California. She attended nine different schools before the seventh grade and learned to make fast friends. In 1996 one of those friends was on an NBC sitcom called Something So Right (1996) and the producers needed a friend for her character for a few episodes. That gave Rachelle her first taste of Hollywood, but it didn't leave her hungry for seconds.
A "sports-girl" at heart, it took being laid up with a volleyball injury for Rachelle to take the time to meet with M Management, which she did at age 16. The print modeling agents, Maria and Carole, convinced her to go on a casting call for a Chrysler campaign. Rachelle liked the response she got and agreed to attend another casting call, this time for Abercrombie & Fitch. When she got the job she decided she should take advantage of her good luck. Her modeling agents introduced her to Innovative Artists Commercial Division and soon Rachelle started appearing in national commercials. All this good fortune was helpful in enabling her to put herself through college. She soon met a talent manager who saw she was something special. He encouraged her to move to New York to study acting. After studying at the Stella Adler Academy and experiencing the Big life in the Big Apple, Rachelle returned ready for Hollywood.
Along with a number of TV appearances, Rachelle played the lead in an independent feature. The horror film, which was shot over eight weeks almost entirely at night, required serious commitment and tested Rachelle's love of acting, because she was also balancing a full college course schedule during the day. Now a recent college graduate, Rachelle stays busy with all her meetings and auditions and regular bookings in commercials, print modeling, television and feature films.
You might have seen Rachelle in commercials for such products as Clean & Clear, Head & Shoulders, Revlon, Reebok, Chevy and Nintendo. She appeared in episodes of such sitcoms as Rules of Engagement (2007) with David Spade, Patrick Warburton and Oliver Hudson and How I Met Your Mother (2005). She also guested in an episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (2005) as a put-upon fashion model and showed a distinct flair for comedy. She has also had roles in such feature films as Bad Blood (2012) and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009). - Actress

Raine Brown's love of performing was evident before her hands ever held a script and before her feet ever touched a stage. Growing up, her love for the dramatic was well documented by her parents' aptly coined nickname for her, "Sarah Bernhardt" (after the acclaimed French actress from the turn of the century). Beyond the occasional dramatic outburst though (which she has thankfully long outgrown), Raine did not professionally pursue, nor did her parents push, acting in her younger days.
Serious interest in the study of acting culminated during her high school years, where she was able to put her passionate emotions into a directed structure, in her high school theatre program. Her love of the stage was intense and immediate, so much so, that Raine not only starred in the shows and took acting classes through the school, but she soon sought out other New Jersey acting programs as well.
Through the New Jersey School of the Arts program, Raine took advanced acting classes and began to hone her craft. Additionally, Raine was selected as a Governor's School of the Arts candidate. This select program allows students interested in all areas of the arts to live together and share in the joy of artistic creation. Only nine other students in the state were accepted into the acting program and Raine's abilities were well respected and admired among her peers and professors. With that honor, Raine knew that she could be a successful and respected artist outside of her little suburban town. She decided to spend some time training at the American Dramatic Academy in New York. It was at the academy that Raine studied the Misner method, a technique she still calls upon often in her work today.
After graduating as salutatorian of her High School, Raine was accepted into Montclair State University where she pursued and graduated with a BFA in the acting program. During this period, Raine's love of Shakespeare was enhanced. Raine began more seriously studying Shakespeare's works in her classes and transferred what she learned into her performances with a group called the "Hudson Shakespeare Company". Now as a classically trained actor, she played many of Shakespeare's heroines including Juliet, Ophelia, Lady MacBeth, Hermia, Beatrice, Katharina, Phoebe, and Rosalind. Also, Raine was able to take on one of her dream roles, Laura, in "The Glass Menagerie" when she worked at the "Nutley Little Theatre". She was also able to work with the professional theatre group "12 Miles West" in their production of "A Child's Christmas in Whales", and star in the play "A Most Irish Proposal Indeed" as the lead, Marie, with the group call "The Little Theatre".
Further, you may have seen Raine when she was featured on TV in both 'Sex and the City (2000)' and 'Strangers with Candy (1999)' and more recently hosting the 'New York's Village Halloween Parade 2005 (2005) (TV)'. Currently, she has been pursuing her film career and has been cast in numerous independent films; most notably, 'Horror (2002)' and 'Satan's Playground (2005)', both directed by Dante Tomaselli", and the films 'Woods of Evil (2005)', 'Maya's Soul (2006)', 'Aunt Rose (2005)', and 'Street Revenge (2007)', all of which have received wide distribution deals. Of late, Raine has starred in 'Barricade (2007)', "The 9th Circle", "Plasterhead", 'Angel's Blade (2006) (V)', and '100 Tears (2007)'. Further, production has begun on her internet/ipod sitcom "After Ours".- Actress
