SUZANNE WATSON began her career in the live special events world where she planned and produced major events all over the United States including the Super Bowl, Presidential Inaugural Ball, College Bowl Games and the Presidents Cup.

Shortly after moving to Los Angeles she combined her love for the entertainment industry and experience in live event production to producing films. She has produced several award-winning short films and most recently returned to the Napa Valley Film Festival with her feature HOSEA that won the Jury Award for Best Verge Performance Recognition. 

She is the ultimate project manager and when she’s not working as a film producer, she is often lending her time and expertise in helping raise funds and awareness for orphan advocacy, disadvantaged youth, education and faith related causes.  

AVRIL SPEAKS has been carving out her path as a bold, innovative content creator for several years, not only as a producer and director but also during her days as a former professor at Howard University. She produced the award-winning film Jinn, which premiered in Narrative Competition at SXSW and won Special Jury Recognition for Writing. Jinn gained distribution through MGM/Orion Classics and continues to be seen throughout the world. Avril has also produced several films including Hosea, the South African film African America, (both of which will release in fall 2020), and the comedy Dotty & Soul, starring Leslie Uggams, Gary Owen and Margot Bingham. Avril was also an Associate Producer on the TNT docu-series American Race and has helped produce both scripted and non-scripted content for BET, Coca Cola, Essence, and others.

Avril has been selected for producing labs with Film Independent, Sundance, IFP, Rotterdam and Cannes, and she is currently a 2020 Sundance Momentum Fellow and a Blackhouse Producer’s Lab Fellow. Avril has coordinated international film education programs such as Global Media Makers and the inaugural Hollywood Foreign Press Association Filmmaker Residency. She is a contributing writer for DearProducer.com and has also directed feature films, including The Round Table and the award-winning Sophisticated Romance.

CAMILLE ROWE is a French actress and model, and star of the upcoming film Hosea directed by Ryan Daniel Dobson. She will also appear in the independent thriller Knuckledust, directed by James Kermack, and the much anticipated French drama I Wish Someone Were Waiting For Me Somewhere, directed by Arnaid Viard. Additionally, she starred opposite Marion Cotillard and Ben Foster in Rock’n Roll and Our Day Will Come, opposite Vincent Cassel. She recently wrapped production on the horror feature The Deep House, in which she stars opposite James Jagger.

AVI NASH enjoyed a nomadic childhood, moving from New Jersey to Georgia to Texas. The son of immigrants from South America and India, he grew up amongst varied accents, languages, and cultures.

Nash attended Stanford University, where his creative nature began to take over, and he left his studies twice: first to study acting in Mumbai; and later, to study literature in Madrid. He graduated with a degree in Mathematics and Architectural Design, only to backpack across South America, settling in Buenos Aires. 

Eventually Nash found his way to Los Angeles and later, London. There he trained at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA), earning his MA in Classical Theatre. During this time, he appeared in the stage productions of Othello, The Way of the World, Don Juan, Tis Pity She’s a Whore, and an abridged version of Shakespeare’s First Tetralogy.

Nash made his feature film debut alongside Sir Ben Kingsley and Patricia Clarkson in Isabel Coixet’s Learning to Drive. He also appeared opposite Devon Terrell and Anya Taylor-Joy in the critically acclaimed Obama biopic Barry, and guest-starred on the Emmy winning HBO series Silicon Valley.

He is best known for portraying Siddiq on AMC’s The Walking Dead, and was promoted to season regular during Season 9, the series all time highest-rated season.

When he’s not acting, Nash can be found on the soccer pitch, the side of a mountain, or in the kitchen. He recently accomplished a trek to Everest Base Camp and completed a stage at a renowned bakery in Rennes, France.

Nash resides with his backpack between London, Lisbon, and an ever-changing plane ticket.
