Bart Mastronardi:
Bart is an independent filmmaker where his work with a talented cast and crew led to the creation of Vindication. Vindication is Bart’s directorial feature film debut based on his short movie. Having been a DP for numerous movies, shorts and commercials, Bart wanted to go back to his directing roots this time independently financing and multi-tasking this production to create a chilling coming-of-age psychological horror movie. Learning from other great independent filmmakers and movies that shot with a low budget style, Bart mixed those elements with classic literature ranging from Shakespeare’s tragedies, to Ovid’s Metamorphosis and Dante’s The Inferno, and mixed with inspiration from Clive Barker notably the first Hellraiser movie where Bart was able to create the mad and macabre world of the film’s protagonist, Nicolas Bertram, found in Vindication.
Ira Heiden:
American television and film actor, perhaps best known for his role in the 1987 horror film A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors as Will Stanton. Ira’s other film roles include the 1988 film Elvira, Mistress of the Dark and his most recent film is the 1996 film Timelock.
Heiden has done a few TV movies; he also had a small recurring role in the ABC hit TV series Alias as C.I.A. Trenchy Rick McCarthy. He has made guest appearances on TV shows such as Family Ties, Step by Step, and Family Matters.
