 | Director SANDY TUNG was born and raised on Staten Island, New York. His father, George, was a Shanghai refugee from communist China, and his mother, Rosemary, a direct descendant of John Adams and John Quincy Adams.
After attending local public schools, Tung got a scholarship to New York University where he majored in physics, winning two National Science Fellowships in biophysics and atomic physics. However, much to his fathers chagrin, he decided to go into film.
With the money he received from his fellowships, Tung made several short films, using his girlfriend and his family as stars. These small films earned Tung a full scholarship to N.Y.U. film school where he earned an M.F.A. and was honored with several student film awards. During his school years, Tung worked in New York Citys film community as both a sound and film editor, and also directed shorts and documentaries.
His first feature, "A Marriage," budgeted under $100,000., was showcased at numerous film festivals and distributed by Cinecom International. The New York Times Janet Maslin called it "a knowing and believable portrait of a union
with more than its share of charm."
After receiving a Directors Guild of America award for the Schoolbreak Special "The Day the Senior Class Got Married," Tung moved to Los Angeles to pursue his career in earnest. Soon after arriving in Hollywood, Tung directed "Across the Tracks," top lining Rick Schroeder and a young Brad Pitt in his first starring role. The film was produced and written by Dale Rosenbloom. "Across the Tracks" won awards at the Philadelphia and Houston Film Festivals.
Tung also helmed and wrote the Rosenbloom-executive produced film "Confessions of a Sexist Pig," a 1968 Santa Barbara Film Festival entry, which won that Festivals Honorable Mention. The contemporary romantic comedy also took home the Silver Award at the Houston International Film Festival; and won the Best Narrative Feature award at the St. Paul International Film Festival earlier this year.
|  | Supervising Producer MARK YELLEN also was an executive producer of the critically acclaimed "Shiloh." Yellen is a graduate of San Francisco Art Institute where he majored in film. Following a position with the Vermont Council of the Arts where he developed the highly successful Arts Apprenticeship Program to place teenagers with artist mentors, he joined Two Penny Theatre, an award-winning regional theatre group, where he developed and produced educational and theatrical events throughout the state.
After returning to San Francisco where he completed his directorial thesis, Yellen joined Dasher Communications and he produced commercials and multimedia corporate communications programs for such clients as Memorex, Charles Schwab, Fujitsu America, Levi-Strauss, GTE and numerous others.
Moving into the freelance arena in 1988, Yellen worked in various producing and directing capacities on numerous independent features, music videos and commercials, and was Line Producer of M.C. Hammer's "Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em," which received a Grammy Award for Best Long Form Music Video.
As a producer, Yellen's credits include the feature film "Indigo" for Francis Ford Coppola's American Zoetrope production company, "Guncrazy," starring Drew Barrymore and James LeGros, and "Where The River Flows North," starring Rip Torn, Tantoo Cardinal, Michael J. Fox and Treat Williams.
In 1993, Yellen partnered with Zane W. Levitt and produced "Fist of the North Star," starring Gary Daniels, Costas Mandylor, Chris Penn and featuring Malcolm McDowell, and "One Good Turn," starring James Remar, Suzy Amis, Lenny von Dohlen, Audie England and John Savage. Most recently, Yellen produced "The Big Squeeze," starring Lara Flynn Boyle, Peter Dobson, Danny Nucci and Luca Bercovici.
Supervising Producer ZANE W. LEVITT was also a producer on the critically acclaimed "Shiloh." Levitt studied film at the San Francisco Art Institute under the Kuchar brothers, the innovative '60s filmmakers who inspired John Waters among others. He then moved to Los Angeles to work as an assistant to Paul Bartel.
While working for Bartel, Levitt met screenwriter Bill Kellman, who had written "Mortuary Academy," which he optioned for the sum of one dollar, thus launching his career as a producer. He went on to develop, package and co-produce the film which was directed by Michael Schroeder and starred Paul Bartel, Mary Woronov, Christopher Atkins, Wolfman Jack and Cesar Romero. Levitt next co-wrote "Out of the Dark," an erotic thriller which he went on to produce. Released by New Line Cinema, the film starred Karen Black, Bud Cort and Divine.
In 1988, Levitt formed Zeta Entertainment Limited, through which he went on to produce "Liquid Dreams," a surreal look at the netherworld of murder and sex. The film was screened at the Montreal, Avignon, Chicago, London and Cannes Film Festivals, and was selected to be shown in the Internationale Semaine De La Critique Francais, Cannes Film Festival 1991. Levitt's fourth feature, "Guncrazy," premiered on Showtime Network prior to its theatrical release.
Partnering with Mark Yellen in 1993, Levitt has since produced "Fist of the North Star," starring Gary Daniels, Costas Mandylor, Chris Penn and featuring Malcolm McDowell, and "One Good Turn," starring James Remar, Suzy Amis, Lenny von Dohlen, Audie England and John Savage.
