Sabu Quinn (Writer / Director)
I love visual storytelling. Which led to a BFA from Cooper Union, followed by two months photographing life in Belfast. Then it was back to another war zone, New York, and work at a photography agency. Skip 8-1/2 (boring) years to me quitting my job. And it was the best decision of my life, because I wrote a screenplay that was a finalist in the Gordon Parks Independent Film Awards in Screenwriting, a finalist in the Chesterfield Writer’s Film Project Fellowship, and a quarter-finalist in the Writer’s Network Screenplay & Fiction Competition. And my next screenplay became my first movie — The End of The Beginning.
Regina Flanagan (Producer)
Given a camera at 13, Regina caught the photography bug. She went on to study Communication Arts at C.W. Post College/Long Island University specializing in Film & Photography. This led to a continuing interest in visual arts on many levels. While working with still images for print media, she continues to be intrigued by images in motion.
Jared Fankhauser (Composer)
Composer Jared Fankhauser is presently employed as a computer programmer by Priceline.com and, in his off-hours, freelances as a musician and composer. After obtaining a BA from Cornell University in 1999, Jared jumped head-first into the then-boiling IT market. At the end of 2000, however, he decided to take a chance and began working as a musician for various cruise lines, including both Carnival and Royal Caribbean. In early 2002, Jared relocated to New York City to pursue his musical career and has been trying to find his artistic niche ever since. He currently resides in the Bronx.
Doug Friedman (Geoff Wyman)
Doug Friedman has worked in theatre and film in Chicago, New York and Los Angeles. Some of his favorite roles were in Neil Labute’s "Lepers" which was turned into the film "Your Friends and Neighbors" and "Apartment 3D", which came out of Edward Albee’s Workshop. Currently he is a member of John Strasberg’s Accidental Theatre in New York. He would like to thank Sabu for giving him this role when most would not have. As well, he thanks him for his patience and really hopes that they can work again. Very soon.
Natia Dune (Annie Danilov)
Natia Dune has worked in The End of The Beginning.
James Murray Arnold (Rupert / Detective Sherlock)

He appeared in various Goodman Studio productions including as the juvenile lead in Take A Giant Step, as David in Between Two Thieves and as “Hap” Loman in Death of A Salesman.
