Visitorsmhs72

Nana Visitor starred as Major Kira Nerys in all seven seasons of Star Trek: Deep Space 9. Those seven years brought her into the public spotlight more than ever before. Following DS9, Nana returned to the stage as Roxie in the Broadway production of Chicago and guest starred as Madam X on Dark Angel. In 2008, she appeared as a dying cancer patient in Faith, an episode of the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica. She played Pamela Voorhees in the 2009 Friday the 13th remake. She has also lent her voice in a few guest appearances on the show Family Guy. In 2011 she appeared on NBC's hit series Grimm and played Olivia Colasanto in Torchwood: Miracle Day.

Steve Gostelow was the man inside the menace in More Than 30 Years In The Tardis, a documentary celebrating the 30th anniversary of Doctor Who. He worked with costumes and Dalek props, playing a Cyberman and Cybercontroller, a Dalek, then a Red Dalek, and then The Dalek Emperor. (They have a rapid promotion plan, those Daleks!) Steve brings with him a fantastic presentation on the filming of the documentary as well as several of the actual props used during filming.

Ajjanasm
Jana "AJ" Mattioli's controversial courtroom drama exploring gay civil rights, An Affirmative Act, opened nationwide in April 2011 to positive acclaim. Plus her series of comedic shorts The Coffee Shop (hitting festivals this year) and it's obvious that this filmmaker is definitely making her mark. Most recently AJ produced a short title BIdentity Crisis which was nominated for 4 awards at the Downbeach Film Festival in Atlantic City and brought home two including Best Comedy Short. I-CON is proud to be bringing more diversity to its indie film programming.
