Jennifer Connelly was born in the Catskill Mountains, New York, to Ilene (Schuman), a dealer of antiques, and Gerard Connelly, a clothing manufacturer. Her father had Irish and Norwegian ancestry, and her mother was from a Jewish immigrant family. Jennifer grew up in Brooklyn Heights, just across the Brooklyn Bridge from Manhattan, except for the four years her parents spent in Woodstock, New York. Back in Brooklyn Heights, she attended St. Ann's school. A close friend of the family was an advertising executive. When Jennifer was ten, he suggested that her parents take her to a modeling audition. She began appearing in newspaper and magazine ads (among them "Seventeen" magazine), and soon moved on to television commercials. A casting director saw her and introduced her to Sergio Leone, who was seeking a young girl to dance in his gangster epic Once Upon a Time in America (1984). Although having little screen time, the few minutes she was on-screen were enough to reveal her talent. Her next role after that was an episode of the British horror anthology TV series Tales of the Unexpected (1979) in 1984.
After Leone's movie, horror master Dario Argento signed her to play her first starring role in his thriller Phenomena (1985). The film made a lot of money in Europe but, unfortunately, was heavily cut for American distribution. Around the same time, she appeared in the rock video "I Drove All Night," a Roy Orbison song, co-starring Jason Priestley. She released a single called "Monologue of Love" in Japan in the mid-1980s, in which she sings in Japanese a charming little song with semi-classical instruments arrangement. On the B-side is "Message Of Love," which is an interview with music in background. She also appeared in television commercials in Japan.
She enrolled at Yale, and then transferred two years later to Stanford. She trained in classical theater and improvisation, studying with the late drama coach Roy London, Howard Fine, and Harold Guskin.
The late 1980s saw her starring in a hit and three lesser seen films. Amongst the latter was her roles in Ballet (1989), as a ballerina and in Some Girls (1988), where she played a self-absorbed college freshman. The hit was Labyrinth (1986), released in 1986. Jennifer got the job after a nationwide talent search for the lead in this fantasy directed by Jim Henson and produced by George Lucas. Her career entered in a calm phase after those films, until Dennis Hopper, who was impressed after having seen her in "Some Girls", cast Jennifer as an ingénue small-town girl in The Hot Spot (1990), based upon the 1950s crime novel "Hell Hath No Fury". It received mixed critical reviews, but it was not a box office success.
The Rocketeer (1991), an ambitious Touchstone super-production, came to the rescue. The film was an old-fashioned adventure flick about a man capable of flying with rockets on his back. Critics saw in "Rocketeer" a top-quality movie, a homage to those old films of the 1930s in which the likes of Errol Flynn starred. After "Rocketeer," Jennifer made Career Opportunities (1991), The Heart of Justice (1992), Mulholland Falls (1996), her first collaboration with Nick Nolte and Inventing the Abbotts (1997). In 1998, she was invited by director Alex Proyas to make Dark City (1998), a strange, visually stunning science-fiction extravaganza. In this movie, Jennifer played the main character's wife, and she delivered an acclaimed performance. The film itself didn't break any box-office record but received positive reviews. This led Jennifer to a contract with Fox for the television series The $treet (2000), a main part in the memorable and dramatic love-story Waking the Dead (2000) and, more important, a breakthrough part in the polemic and applauded independent Requiem for a Dream (2000), a tale about the haunting lives of drug addicts and the subsequent process of decadence and destruction. In "Requiem for a Dream," Jennifer had her career's most courageous, difficult part, a performance that earned her a Spirit Award Nomination. She followed this role with Pollock (2000), in which she played Pollock's mistress, Ruth Klingman. In 2001, Ron Howard chose her to co-star with Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind (2001), the film that tells the true story of John Nash, a man who suffered from mental illness but eventually beats this and wins the Nobel Prize in 1994. Jennifer played Nash's wife and won a Golden Globe, BAFTA, AFI and Oscar as Best Supporting Actress. Connelly continued her career with films including Hulk (2003), her second collaboration with Nick Nolte, Dark Water (2005), Blood Diamond (2006), The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008), He's Just Not That Into You (2009) and Noah (2014), where she did her second collaboration with both Darren Aronofsky and Russell Crowe and made her third collaboration with Nick Nolte in that same film.
Jennifer lives in New York. She is 5'7", and speaks fluent Italian and French. She enjoys physical activities such as swimming, gymnastics, and bike riding. She is also an outdoors person -- camping, hiking and walking, and is interested in quantum physics and philosophy. She likes horses, Pearl Jam, SoundGarden, Jesus Jones, and occasionally wears a small picture of the The Dalai Lama on a necklace. Her favorite colors are cobalt blue, forest green, and "very pale green/gray -- sort of like the color of the sea". She likes to draw.Sarah- Cinematographer

Pedro Luque, originally from Uruguay, made a grand entrance in 2016 as the cinematographer for the runaway horror hit Don't Breathe, directed by Fede Alvarez for Sony Pictures' Screen Gems. The film was nominated for a Critics' Choice Award for Best Sci-Fi Horror Movie. Upon its release, Peter Travers, writing for Rolling Stone magazine, noted Luque. "What makes this so memorably nerve-frying is the way Alvarez and cinematographer Pedro Luque use night-vision and every trick in the book and ones not invented yet to trap us in their vise."
Luque went on to shoot the 2018 modern gothic psychological thriller movie Look Away, for director Assaf Bernstein (the critically-acclaimed director of Netflix's massive hit series, Fauda, 2015); the 2018 science fiction film Extinction for director Ben Young for Good Universe; the 2019 remake of the horror film Jacob's Ladder for director David Rosenthal; and the 2021 sequel Don't Breathe 2. Luque also served as DP on 2018's The Girl in the Spider's Web for Sony Pictures, starring Claire Foy, and on 2020's Antebellum for Lionsgate.
Luque recently wrapped La Sociedad de la Nieve for Netflix. Based in Los Angeles, he lives with his wife and two kids and speaks both English and Spanish fluently.cinematographer- Composer

Costume designer Carlos Rosario was born in Perpignan, France, to Spanish parents. His talent for fashion and design was recognized quite early, and at eighteen he was admitted to the prestigious Ecole Superieure de la Mode ( ESMOD) in Paris. During his fashion studies, he was able to work with many of his personal idols, including Vivienne Westwood, as well as up-and-coming designers, such as Corinne Cobson.
The Paris fashion elite also took notice of Rosario. In 1994, he was selected to be an assistant designer at Christian Dior Homme and helped create the Cent ans de cinéma (100 Years of Cinema) collection, which was presented at the historic Marigny Theater with French film royalty, Jean Claude Brialy and Lambert Wilson, in attendance. In addition, the House of Chanel selected Rosario, representing Parisian fashion students, to interview Karl Lagerfeld at the prestigious Sorbonne University about his life in fashion.
After establishing himself in the European fashion industry, Rosario decided to pursue his passion in cinema. He arrived in Los Angeles in 1995 and was immediately hired by one of his mentors, four-time Academy Award winner Colleen Atwood. Rosario collaborated with Atwood as part of her design team on numerous films, including SLEEPY HOLLOW, CHICAGO, A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS and PLANET OF THE APES.
Rosario worked several more years as an assistant costume designer on feature films, such as WALK THE LINE and TRON: LEGACY. His design career then took another jump forward. He was the costume designer on A PROPER SEND-OFF, directed by Eva Longoria; BOULEVARD, starring Robin Williams, Kathy Baker, and Bob Odenkirk; Michael Bay's TNT television show THE LAST SHIP and RUNNER, RUNNER with Justin Timberlake and Ben Affleck.
In 2015, Rosario was hired by Fede Alvarez to be the costume designer on DON'T BREATHE. The film was shot in Budapest and became a huge success at the box office in the summer of 2016. Rosario subsequently went to Chicago to design the costumes for the pilot of APB, directed by Len Wiseman, which was picked up by Fox. Rosario then worked with director Brad Anderson on two projects shot in Morocco: BEIRUT, a political thriller written by Tony Gilroy, starring Jon Hamm and Rosamund Pike, and THE BRAVE, a pilot for NBC/Universal.
Rosario again collaborated with Fede Alvarez in 2017 on the highly anticipated THE GIRL IN THE SPIDER'S WEB starring Claire Foy. The film was released November 2018.
Carlos Rosario is fluent in French, Spanish and English.costume designer- Art Department
