"It's more than just a hobby to me, it's a work of
art that takes on moment of an authors life and allows him or her to
express how they saw the world in that moment. It is our job as actors
not only to use our talents to help them express that view point and to
collaborate with others to create something greater than any individual,
but it also allows us as actors to do the same thing in turn - express
how we see the world.
It is my wish that through viewing my work our
audiences are able to connect in part with the characters so that as our
characters learn about the world around them our audiences can learn as
well"
Michael Ray Williams
Michael started to pursue acting as a serious career
during the second year of High School. After graduating in 2004 he
began working more on films for about four years, working with a few
different groups in Raleigh. In addition to the film work he started
bolstering his skill list with workshops and various classes ranging
from "Accent and Dialects", "Stage Combat", and "Comedia del Arte
Physicality". For the last four years, however, Michael has returned to
the stage working for several community theatre groups in and around
Alamance County. He works from all angles in the theatre, from lighting
design and execution, to prop design and construction, right up to
Directing. Some of his theate credits include "Ernst Ludwig" in Cabaret,
"John Proctor" in The Crucible, and "Frederic" in The Pirates of
Penzance. In 2010 he played the role of "Jack" with the Adrenaline
Group's film production of "A Few Brains More: Summer of Blood" and with
the same group he wrote and directed the short film "Perception". One
noteable thing he was involved with recently was a Live theatrical
production of Joss Whedon's "Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog" with
Burlington's League of Extraordinary Thespians. In the show he was
fortunate enough to be cast as the good Doctor himself.
Paul Cardullo - John Dumas
Paul Cardullo believes it is sometime necessary to
suffer for ones art. As John Dumas in A Few Brains More: Summer of
Blood, he endured being covered in [spoilers], having [spoilers] thrown
at him, having a gentleman [spoilers] him, and spending a year and a
half with muttonchops and a 70s-style mustache. For the short "Watch
You Back", Paul spent 8+ hours chained up on the floor of a hot,
unairconditioned storage container in nothing but his boxers and a
strait jacket.
When not being abused for
the sake of his craft, Paul works on computers, plays his mandolin, and
watches as many obscure (and not so obscure) movies as he can fit in.
Amber Teachey
Amber has always loved performing, but she did not
find her love of acting until she started working with The Adrenalin
Group. She was an extra in their film Fistful of Brains and then went on
to play Sylvia in the sequel 'A Few Brains More: Summer of Blood'. She
also acted in three short films for Adrenalin: 'Loneliness',
'Perception', and 'Broken' and was featured as a model in the art book
'They Called it Graveyard Girls' by Shane Trotter of Stiff magazine. In
addition to the enjoyment and fulfillment she experiences as an actress,
Amber has truly come to appreciate the hard work that goes into making a
film or any artistic project. Having recently signed a contract with
Talent One, she is looking forward to working on many more films.
Kevin Teachey got involved with the indie film group
Adrenalin while answering a call for extras for the film Fistful of
Brains in 2007. Since then he has worked on several projects with them.
He was cast as Tyrone in Adrenalins most recent feature film A Few
Brains More: Summer of Blood. He played the lead opposite his wife Amber
Teachey in the short film Loneliness. And most recently he played the
lead Aaron, in Michael Ray Williams Sci Fi short called Perception.
During the 2011 Greensboro 48 Hour Film Festival he turned out an
emotional performance in their award winning entry Broken. In addition
to his talents as an actor, Kevin is also an accomplished musician. He
composed music for Loneliness as well as Perception and Broken.
Growing up, Shane could never imagine being an
actor. He thought to be on a stage and have everyone staring at him was a
frightening thing. In his Junior year of High School some of his
friends took him to see a midnight performance of the Rocky Horror
Picture Show. Seeing those people up on stage acting out the movie as
it played in the background he thought I want to do that!. The
following week the High School drama department had a call for extras
for their current play. Shane showed up and got a small part. Thus his
acting career began.
In the Spring of 2010, Shane saw an event posted on
Facebook calling for extras in Christine Parkers independent zombie
film A Few Brains More: Summer of Blood. By the time the filming was
completed he had ended up playing 5 different characters for the film.
While working with the Adrenalin Group, Shane has also been learning to
create Special Makeup Effects from Bill Mulligan.
He has worked with the Adrenalin Group on their
films Loneliness, Perception, and Broken. He even did the Special
Effects Makeup on Perception. He also appears in the Mad Ones Films
production of The Gospel According to Booze, Bullets, and Hot Pink
Jesus: Act III, Have Faith Will Travel, as well as many, many other
films. You will be seeing a lot more of him in the future.

Carrie, is a woman of many talents. During the 1970s she performed as a
NYC night club singer who sang at clubs that included Folk City and the
Café Wha?. After taking a break from the NYC night club scene, Carrie
performed with the Funny Farm, a comedy troupe from Norfolk, VA where
she developed her skills in live improvisational comedy and comedic
acting. Always leaving her audiences laughing, she left the Funny
Farm and started a new life in Raleigh, NC. Twenty years later, she
was discovered by the Adrenaline Group when she worked as an extra for Fistful of Brains. She ended up in a cameo shot where she played the
old lady zombie that ate more than several fistfuls of brains, thus
earning her the title role. It was there her passion for horror films
and scaring the living daylights out of friends and family emerged.
With the Adrenaline Group, Carrie co-starred in the independent short
film, Dead of the Night, where she scared audiences with her joyful
expertise and skill in wielding a chainsaw. Most recently, Carrie was
able to apply her comedic abilities and acting talents by playing the
Russian Scientist in A Few Brains More. As an active member of the
Adrenaline Group, Carrie is the Associate Producer for A Few Brains
More and Broken. She also is the film production companys makeup
artist and hairstylist who keeps the stars looking gorgeous until things

MAD ONES FILMS formed in 2004,
originally taking shape in the form of a mysterious group of cynical
film-buffs and social critics known as the CSC. Comprised originally of
three misfits and great friends (Jennie Prince, Jaysen Buterin, and J.
Evan Wade), the CSC lunchtime agendas fostered conversations of mirth
and hilarity. After witnessing events like the 2005 Greensboro 48 Hour
Film Project, the CSC decided to make movies, and then informally dubbed
themselves "The Mad Ones." MAD ONES FILMS prides itself on
delivering polished films and offering a quality product that often far
surpasses the budget (or lack thereof) we have to spend due to the
talents, dedication, and drive of all its respective members. Their
stories cover a wide variety of topics, ranging from the hilarious
well-meaning antics of Ben Jones in "Z-Day: A Fantastic Zombie Love
Story" and the "Zombie Service Announcement" Series, to the brooding
psychotic bloodshed evident in the underground cult hit, "The Devil's
Tramping Ground." Jaysen Buterin wrote the screenplay for "DTG" (as it
is now affectionately called) based off a piece of North Carolina
folklore and incorporated a love for literature, Rock-n-Roll, and
classic horror movies to depict the downfall of the Pre-Madonnas, the
hardest working band in town. This modern take on Faustian myth
premiered April 26, 2007 and has been screened to enthusiastic audiences
and positive feedback across North Carolina and the Southeast. Mad Ones Films attendees: Jaysen P. Buterin: Creative Director, Writer/Director - "The Missionary Man" Nhia "Money" Vang: Assistant Director, Editor, SFX Mikey Cordes: Editor, Director of Photography, Camera Jesse Knight: Director of Photography, Camera J. Evan Wade - Co Founder/ Executive Producer Jennie Prince - Co Founder
Actor. Writer. Director.
Producer. Musician. Drummer (wait for it…). Model. Artist.
Canvas. Columnist. Music Journalist. When it comes to wearing different hats it’s
a damn good thing that Jaysen Buterin has such a big head. Not his actual ego, mind you… but literally
the sheer physical size of his cranium – something akin to lugging around an
orange on a toothpick. And so it was
that Jaysen (and his cerebral Sputnik), shuffled onto this mortal coil one bicentennial
day back in 1976, by way of the maternity ward at the Clayton Hospital, making
his world premiere in Saint Louis, Missouri. Rather early on, Jaysen had the sneaking suspicion that his
path in life may divert down a slightly more “unconventional” direction than
others. At the tender young age of four,
he became the only kindergartener in Warren County history to successfully and
effectively use three out of seven of George Carlin’s “Dirty Words”. (An
accolade, as far as he knows, he still holds to this day). And so was born a lifelong love affair with
words, both the profane and the profound, as well as the kick start to the
heart that comes with the attention-getting adrenalin rush of performing. Fast forward thru the commercials of capricious youth. Armed with a pen in one hand and a pair of
drumsticks in the other, hell-bent and heuristic, he sped down the highway of
higher learning when he relocated to Cape Girardeau, MO. Here an adventure in academentia resulted in
two degrees for our hero and, more importantly, in the big bang creation of his
professional writing career as a music journalist and columnist. The next thing he knew was eastbound and down
– loaded up and trucking, right into Greensboro, North Carolina. Working as a graphic and web designer by day, fanning the
flames of the rock & roll fires by night (and getting a Master’s Degree in
Literature in between), Buterin found his cinematic partners in crime when he
founded Mad Ones Films in the summer of 2006.
This was just in time to compete in the Greensboro 48 Hour Film Project
where he won a Honourable Mention for Best Writing with “Z-Day: A Fantastic
Zombie Love Story.” Once again feeling
that kick start to the heart, Jaysen took to pen and paper to write his first
official screenplay, “The Devil’s Tramping Ground.” Based off of local legends and ghost stories, this
modern-day Faustian rock & roll thriller thrust Buterin in front of the
camera as a lead actor but it was behind the lens where he felt his true
calling lie (at least, according to the voices in his head). Another dalliance with the 48 Hour Film
Project put him on the hot pink path to the director’s chair where he created
such short film masterpieces as “Behind the Mistletoe,” the “Zombie Service
Announcement Series (Z.S.A.’s),” “Flipper Stripper Vixens at the Inferno
A-Go-Go!!!” and the award-winning slasher horror/comedy cult classic, “The
Decapitator.” For the last two years Buterin has devoted both himself and
the Mad Ones to labouring away on a sin-soaked scintillating titillating thrill
ride of a short film trilogy, “The Gospel According to Booze, Bullets & Hot
Pink Jesus.” Act III of the Trilogy,
“Have Faith, Will Travel” will premiere early 2012. As the writer and director of the cinematic
second coming, and as Creative Director of Mad Ones Films, Buterin’s mission
has been to show the unbridled kaleidoscopic creativity just waiting to be
unleashed when the inmates are finally allowed to roam free and run the
moviemaking asylum. Once the HPJ Trilogy
is completed, Buterin will lead the Mad Ones into the first of many feature
film forays. At the moment there are
several scripts running amok in that big giant head of his... stay tuned!

George Bonilla is as passionate a filmmaker as you would
ever hope to meet. He literally puts his heart and soul into every project he
takes on. If you ask him about his past accomplishments, you’re not likely to
get much of an answer. That’s because he’s bubbling with enthusiasm over his
current film.
George Bonilla turned
his back on a successful career in television to devote his time to see to
fruition the films he wanted to make. He sought creative control on his
projects, and started over from scratch to gain that control. After
traveling the globe, Bonilla settled in Lexington, Kentucky and formed ZP
Productions. He produced and directed his first feature film, Zombie Planet,
with an amateur crew in Lexington. By Hollywood standards, it was a risky move
to embark on a project of the magnitude of Zombie Planet with a staff of
unknowns, but it paid off. Zombie Planet was released world-wide in 2004. Zombie Planet spawned a sequel, Zombie Planet
II: Adam’s Revenge in 2005. Dance With a Vampire followed in 2006. The intellectual thriller, The Edison Death
Machine, became an award-winning film, taking home the trophy for BEST SPECIAL
EFFECTS at the FRIGHT NIGHT FILM FEST, and BEST SCIENCE FICTION FILM 2007 at IT
CAME FROM LAKE MICHIGAN. 2007 saw the release of Monstrosity. Fueled by
the return to the screen of John Dugan, from the original Texas Chainsaw
Massacre, the film was a smash-hit at its festival appearances playing to
standing-room only crowds. This success was followed up with 2008’s Hell-ephone
,an ingenuous horror story with a twist. Hell-ephone features an all-star cast
that includes model Alex Del Monacco and Friday The 13th’s original Jason, Ari
Lehman.
In 2008, George
Bonilla was honored as KENTUCKY FILMMMAKER OF THE YEAR. It was a fitting
tribute to a man who has helped so many others get their start. Switching gears in 2009, Bonilla and company
released a very unique short film, Indiana Jones and The Mummy’s Skull. The fan
film was cast entirely with children 12
years and under. Done initially as a fun
project for his nieces and nephews, the film drew attention and won the BEST
FAN FILM award at FRIGHT NIGHT 2009. The next feature for ZP International was a
fun-filled family friendly feature, Santa Claus Versus the Zombies .released
during the 2010 holiday season. Available in both 3-D and standard versions,
the film has sold well and exceeded expectations during its pay Per View run. Switching gears again, ZP International
produced an instructional video, Fighting on Film: Enter the Independent during
the production of Santa Claus Versus the Zombies. In early 2010, Bonilla’s colleagues honored
him yet again with the award for KENTUCKY FILMMAKER OF THE DECADE. 2011 brought a return to the horror genre
with the aptly-titled Bunker of Blood which was followed by the tongue-in-cheek
Mockumentary Surviving the Zombie Plague.

"It's more than just a hobby to me, it's a work of
art that takes on moment of an authors life and allows him or her to
express how they saw the world in that moment. It is our job as actors
not only to use our talents to help them express that view point and to
collaborate with others to create something greater than any individual,
but it also allows us as actors to do the same thing in turn - express
how we see the world.
It is my wish that through viewing my work our
audiences are able to connect in part with the characters so that as our
characters learn about the world around them our audiences can learn as
well"
Michael started to pursue acting as a serious career
during the second year of High School. After graduating in 2004 he
began working more on films for about four years, working with a few
different groups in Raleigh. In addition to the film work he started
bolstering his skill list with workshops and various classes ranging
from "Accent and Dialects", "Stage Combat", and "Comedia del Arte
Physicality". For the last four years, however, Michael has returned to
the stage working for several community theatre groups in and around
Alamance County. He works from all angles in the theatre, from lighting
design and execution, to prop design and construction, right up to
Directing. Some of his theate credits include "Ernst Ludwig" in Cabaret,
"John Proctor" in The Crucible, and "Frederic" in The Pirates of
Penzance. In 2010 he played the role of "Jack" with the Adrenaline
Group's film production of "A Few Brains More: Summer of Blood" and with
the same group he wrote and directed the short film "Perception". One
noteable thing he was involved with recently was a Live theatrical
production of Joss Whedon's "Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog" with
Burlington's League of Extraordinary Thespians. In the show he was
fortunate enough to be cast as the good Doctor himself.
Paul Cardullo believes it is sometime necessary to
suffer for ones art. As John Dumas in A Few Brains More: Summer of
Blood, he endured being covered in [spoilers], having [spoilers] thrown
at him, having a gentleman [spoilers] him, and spending a year and a
half with muttonchops and a 70s-style mustache. For the short "Watch
You Back", Paul spent 8+ hours chained up on the floor of a hot,
unairconditioned storage container in nothing but his boxers and a
strait jacket.

also acted in three short films for Adrenalin: 'Loneliness',
'Perception', and 'Broken' and was featured as a model in the art book

addition to the enjoyment and fulfillment she experiences as an actress,
Amber has truly come to appreciate the hard work that goes into making a
film or any artistic project. Having recently signed a contract with
Talent One, she is looking forward to working on many more films.

Growing up, Shane could never imagine being an
actor. He thought to be on a stage and have everyone staring at him was a
frightening thing. In his Junior year of High School some of his
friends took him to see a midnight performance of the Rocky Horror
Picture Show. Seeing those people up on stage acting out the movie as
it played in the background he thought I want to do that!. The
following week the High School drama department had a call for extras
for their current play. Shane showed up and got a small part. Thus his
acting career began.
In the Spring of 2010, Shane saw an event posted on
Facebook calling for extras in Christine Parkers independent zombie
film A Few Brains More: Summer of Blood. By the time the filming was
completed he had ended up playing 5 different characters for the film.
While working with the Adrenalin Group, Shane has also been learning to
create Special Makeup Effects from Bill Mulligan.
He has worked with the Adrenalin Group on their
films Loneliness, Perception, and Broken. He even did the Special
Effects Makeup on Perception. He also appears in the Mad Ones Films
production of The Gospel According to Booze, Bullets, and Hot Pink
Jesus: Act III, Have Faith Will Travel, as well as many, many other
films. You will be seeing a lot more of him in the future.

MAD ONES FILMS formed in 2004,
originally taking shape in the form of a mysterious group of cynical
film-buffs and social critics known as the CSC. Comprised originally of
three misfits and great friends (Jennie Prince, Jaysen Buterin, and J.
Evan Wade), the CSC lunchtime agendas fostered conversations of mirth
and hilarity. After witnessing events like the 2005 Greensboro 48 Hour
Film Project, the CSC decided to make movies, and then informally dubbed
themselves "The Mad Ones."
