JOSHUA LEONARD

Clients / , ,

A filmmaker, writer, and actor, Joshua Leonard has made an indelible mark on independent film and television throughout his career. He first came onto the scene in 1999 with lo-fi sensation The Blair Witch Project, perhaps one of the most talked about indie films of all time. As an actor, Leonard continues to work on projects that push the envelope, including 2009’s Independent Spirit Award-winning Humpday, HBO’s acclaimed series “Hung,” “True Detective,” and The Duplass Brothers’ “Togetherness,” in addition to roles in the films Higher Ground by Vera Farmiga and If I Stay by RJ Cutler. Leonard’s directorial debut, The Youth in Us premiered at Sundance in 2005; he followed that with the doc, Beautiful Losers. He made his narrative feature debut with The Lie (Sundance 2011), a devilish morality tale adapted from a story by acclaimed author, T.C. Boyle, which Leonard co-wrote, directed and starred in. He recently wrapped production on his sophomore feature as a director, Behold My Heart, starring Marisa Tomei and Timothy Olyphant, based on a script that he co-wrote. In addition, he’s developing a one-hour television series for EPIX entitled “Liberty,” which he created and will EP alongside Cary Fukunaga.

Kelli Maroney is an American actress whose career spans several decades, with 72 production credits, including 31+ films and over 540 hours of television. She first came to recognition as the bad seed Lolita “Kimberly Harris” in the ABC Daytime drama Ryan’s Hope, winning the plum role only two weeks after arriving in NYC to attend classes at The National Shakespeare Company Conservatory. She soon found herself acting opposite the likes of Joan Fontaine and Christopher Reeve as they made guest appearances on the show. She went on to take over the role of sex-kitten manipulator “Tina Lord” on ABC’s One Life to Live. Kelli also gained notice for her portrayal of the exasperated cheerleader “Cindy Carr/Spirit Bunny” in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, a film that for many epitomized the 80s. Today Kelli’s cheerleader costume is on display in the Universal Studios Museum. Strong female leading roles, notably MAC-10-toting cheerleader “Samantha Belmont” in the zombie apocalypse classic Night of The Comet, the sweet Killbot-slaying “Alison Parks” in Choppin Mall, “Jamie” in the underground slasher The Zero Boys, teen psychotic-killer “Jolene” in Slayground, and several other well-received films quickly earned Kelli her seat at the table as a Final Girl in the horror genre. She also guest-starred in a variety of prime-time ABC, NBC, and CBS shows, including the ever-popular Murder, She Wrote. Kelli has said that her most fulfilling role to date is the schizophrenic femme fatale “Merrie/Meredith” in Showtime’s noir thriller Face Down (written and directed by Night of the Comet’s Thom Eberhardt), playing opposite Joe Mantegna, J.K. Simmons, and Adam Ant. Other streaming highlights include Kelli’s channeling Tammy Faye Baker on HBO’s True Blood and playing herself in Adult Swim’s Tim and Eric’s Awesome Show-Great Job! alongside Patrick Duffy. Current on-demand films include Scare Package II on Shudder, The Wild Man, and Exorcism at 60,000 Feet (with horror icons Lance Henriksen, Adrienne Barbeau, and Bill Moseley), The Deep Ones (a modernized film adaptation of an H.P. Lovecraft story) Night Caller, (the 70s-inspired shocker with Steve Railsback and Lew Temple), and Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-o-Rama II. Slated for release in 2023 include The Wild Man, Scalper, The Old Ones, and Staycation, a film in which she both appears and has a co-producer credit. Kelli’s first job as executive co-producer was the 1999 festival award-winning short film Sam and Mike (in which she also co-starred). The experience ignited her love of film festivals, and she remains deeply committed to championing independent filmmakers. Her work from 2019 to the present has garnered festival awards in and for short films and full-length features which include Best Actress (Kelli Maroney) Best Ensemble Cast, Best Film, and other department-specific awards for creative teams. Kelli is featured in CNN’s The Movies: The 80s! She is also interviewed in six documentaries: In Search of Darkness: I, II, and III; Time Warp: The Greatest Cult Films of All Time; Direct to Video: A Study of the Independent Film Scene of the 1990s; and Mental Health and Horror: A Documentary, debuting in 2023. Kelli is a strong advocate for mental health awareness and animal welfare. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Dan Ulin, and two rescue cats.

Her next role was another small, uncredited part in I Drink Your Blood (1971). Her next movie, playing a dual role in Sugar Cookies (1973), which required her to act in the nude for the first time, got her sex appeal. Score (1973) came next which was a X-rated, soft-core, semi-documentary flick which brought on more sex appeal for Lowry’s character. Her next role was one of her best in playing “Kathy,” a neurotic character in George A. Romero‘s The Crazies (1973), an action-horror flick filmed in rural Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh. She then was cast for a recurring part in the TV series How to Survive a Marriage (1974). She was also cast for a part in David Cronenberg‘s horror flick Shivers (1975). After another minor part in Fighting Mad (1976) and a few other movies, Lowry moved to Los Angeles in the early 1980s where, after a slow start, she began acting in the local theater, and occasional movie roles. Most recently, she has been performing on stage as a singer in singing old folk songs and show tunes with her own band.
