VDA Tape 96 – Cast and Crew

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT:

It was truly love at first sight when I saw this story acted on stage in San Francisco.  The story blew me away with its deceptive simplicity, and its outright manipulation of my tendency to pre-judge what I was seeing. “VDA Tape 96” got into my head – and my heart – and wouldn’t let go.

With the help of community-based filmmaker support group Scary Cow Productions, we mounted an all-volunteer cast & crew to share the film version with others.

I could not be more honored or more flattered to be part of this incredibly-talented team of creative individuals. We are all very passionate about this story, and hope that you will help us share it with others. Thank you! – Drew
