Amadeus M. Gonzalez was born and raised in Fort Worth, TX. Upon briefly studying Theater/Television/Film at The University of Colorado Denver, Amadeus moved in 2013 to establish NAC Pictures in the early wave of art and filmmaking rising in Austin, TX-- what he refers to as the soon-to-be "New Hollywood”. With the inception of NAC, Amadeus wrote, directed, produced & successfully funded an Indiegogo campaign for The Pioneer (2015), a self-budgeted, short prequel to a prospective feature film. Influenced by self-starter and uncompromising filmmakers of the 90's film scene, Amadeus is determined to produce quality work and help put Texas on the map for filmmaking in the new American century.

Watchers will be Amadeus’ third directorial effort & second with NAC Pictures.

Ellie grew up in Willow Park, TX just outside of Fort Worth. She studied Film and Media Studies at the University of Tampa and moved to Austin in August 2013. She immediately started interning for the Austin Film Society and now works in their offices on the studio lot. She has immersed herself in the filmmaking community in ATX, and has worked on both commercial and indie productions. 

Watchers is Ellie’s debut short film since entering the indie filmmaking scene with NAC Pictures, a production company she co-founded.
