Director SANDY TUNG was born and raised on Staten Island, New York. His father, George, was a Shanghai refugee from communist China, and his mother, Rosemary, a direct descendant of John Adams and John Quincy Adams.

After attending local public schools, Tung got a scholarship to New York University where he majored in physics, winning two National Science Fellowships in biophysics and atomic physics. However, much to his father’s chagrin, he decided to go into film.

With the money he received from his fellowships, Tung made several short films, using his girlfriend and his family as stars. These small films earned Tung a full scholarship to N.Y.U. film school where he earned an M.F.A. and was honored with several student film awards. During his school years, Tung worked in New York City’s film community as both a sound and film editor, and also directed shorts and documentaries.

His first feature, "A Marriage," budgeted under $100,000., was showcased at numerous film festivals and distributed by Cinecom International. The New York Times’ Janet Maslin called it "a knowing and believable portrait of a union… with more than its share of charm."

After receiving a Directors Guild of America award for the Schoolbreak Special "The Day the Senior Class Got Married," Tung moved to Los Angeles to pursue his career in earnest. Soon after arriving in Hollywood, Tung directed "Across the Tracks," top lining Rick Schroeder and a young Brad Pitt in his first starring role. The film was produced and written by Dale Rosenbloom. "Across the Tracks" won awards at the Philadelphia and Houston Film Festivals.

Tung also helmed and wrote the Rosenbloom-executive produced film "Confessions of a Sexist Pig," a 1968 Santa Barbara Film Festival entry, which won that Festival’s Honorable Mention. The contemporary romantic comedy also took home the Silver Award at the Houston International Film Festival; and won the Best Narrative Feature award at the St. Paul International Film Festival earlier this year.
Supervising Producer MARK YELLEN also was an executive producer of the critically acclaimed "Shiloh." Yellen is a graduate of San Francisco Art Institute where he majored in film. Following a position with the Vermont Council of the Arts where he developed the highly successful Arts Apprenticeship Program to place teenagers with artist mentors, he joined Two Penny Theatre, an award-winning regional theatre group, where he developed and produced educational and theatrical events throughout the state.

After returning to San Francisco where he completed his directorial thesis, Yellen joined Dasher Communications and he produced commercials and multimedia corporate communications programs for such clients as Memorex, Charles Schwab, Fujitsu America, Levi-Strauss, GTE and numerous others.

Moving into the freelance arena in 1988, Yellen worked in various producing and directing capacities on numerous independent features, music videos and commercials, and was Line Producer of M.C. Hammer's "Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em," which received a Grammy Award for Best Long Form Music Video.

As a producer, Yellen's credits include the feature film "Indigo" for Francis Ford Coppola's American Zoetrope production company, "Guncrazy," starring Drew Barrymore and James LeGros, and "Where The River Flows North," starring Rip Torn, Tantoo Cardinal, Michael J. Fox and Treat Williams.

In 1993, Yellen partnered with Zane W. Levitt and produced "Fist of the North Star," starring Gary Daniels, Costas Mandylor, Chris Penn and featuring Malcolm McDowell, and "One Good Turn," starring James Remar, Suzy Amis, Lenny von Dohlen, Audie England and John Savage. Most recently, Yellen produced "The Big Squeeze," starring Lara Flynn Boyle, Peter Dobson, Danny Nucci and Luca Bercovici.

Supervising Producer ZANE W. LEVITT was also a producer on the critically acclaimed "Shiloh." Levitt studied film at the San Francisco Art Institute under the Kuchar brothers, the innovative '60s filmmakers who inspired John Waters among others. He then moved to Los Angeles to work as an assistant to Paul Bartel.

While working for Bartel, Levitt met screenwriter Bill Kellman, who had written "Mortuary Academy," which he optioned for the sum of one dollar, thus launching his career as a producer. He went on to develop, package and co-produce the film which was directed by Michael Schroeder and starred Paul Bartel, Mary Woronov, Christopher Atkins, Wolfman Jack and Cesar Romero. Levitt next co-wrote "Out of the Dark," an erotic thriller which he went on to produce. Released by New Line Cinema, the film starred Karen Black, Bud Cort and Divine.

In 1988, Levitt formed Zeta Entertainment Limited, through which he went on to produce "Liquid Dreams," a surreal look at the netherworld of murder and sex. The film was screened at the Montreal, Avignon, Chicago, London and Cannes Film Festivals, and was selected to be shown in the Internationale Semaine De La Critique Francais, Cannes Film Festival 1991. Levitt's fourth feature, "Guncrazy," premiered on Showtime Network prior to its theatrical release.

Partnering with Mark Yellen in 1993, Levitt has since produced "Fist of the North Star," starring Gary Daniels, Costas Mandylor, Chris Penn and featuring Malcolm McDowell, and "One Good Turn," starring James Remar, Suzy Amis, Lenny von Dohlen, Audie England and John Savage. Most recently, he produced "The Big Squeeze," starring Lara Flynn Boyle, Peter Dobson, Danny Nucci and Luca Bercovici.
Director of Photography TROY SMITH, a much in demand veteran D.P. of commercials and music videos, has recently begun shooting feature films. Just prior to beginning "Shiloh Season" he shot the feature "Physical Graffiti," for director Martin Schenk.

A partial listing of his impressive commercial credits includes those for such major companies as Nike, Armani, Sky TV, Disney, Reebok, TBS and Sunny Delight, among numerous others.

Highly regarded for his work behind the camera in the music video arena, Smith has lent his talents on over 70 music videos for such important artists as Joan Armatrading, Green Day, Toni Braxton, Blind Melon, Celine Dion, Ice Cube, Puff Daddy, Salt n’ Peppa, Usher, Patty LaBelle, Easy E., Lauren Hill, Snoop Doggy Dog, Collective Soul, Van Halen, 4 Non-Blondes, Enrique Iglesias, Barry White, Los Lobos, and many more.
Composer JOEL GOLDSMITH teams with Dale Rosenbloom for the fifth time with "Shiloh Season," the two having previously worked together on "Shiloh," plus the earlier Rosenbloom features "Instant Karma," "Across The Tracks" and "A Woman, Her Man and Her Futon." He recently co-scored the feature "Star Trek: First Contact" with his famed father, Jerry Goldsmith. Other feature credits include the Steve Martin-Kathleen Turner starrer "The Man With Two Brains" for Warner Bros., "Watchers," starring Corey Haim and Michael Ironside, and "On The Line," starring David Carradine and Scott Wilson. For television, Goldsmith has scored multiple episodes for numerous series, including "The Outer Limits," "Hawkeye," "The Untouchables," and "Ohara."
Film Editor TOM SEID's editing skills have brought him to the attention of many hot directors including Tim Burton, Michael Lehmann and Phil Joanou. He initially got his start in television editing, with projects like the syndicated series "Crossbow" and movies-of-the-week including "Barnum," "Night They Saved Christmas" and "Family Reunion." However, Tom soon graduated to feature films serving as Associate Editor on Michael Lehmann's "Hudson Hawk," Tim Burton's "Batman Returns" and "Josh & S.A.M." for Castle Rock. Tom was Second Editor for Tim Burton on "Ed Wood" and Editor on Phil Joanou's "U2: Rattle & Hum" and Clive Fleury’s "Big City Blues."He most recently co-produced and edited, "Relax…It’s Just Sex" starring Jennifer Tilly.
