IRA SACHS (writer, director) has shown his most recent film LADY (16mm, 28 min.) in festivals around the world, including Sundance, Rotterdam, Melbourne and on the extensive gay and lesbian festival circuit. The film was broadcast nationally by SBS television in Australia and is distributed in the US by Frameline Distribution. His first film VAUDVILLE (16mm, 55 min.) was also seen at many festivals, screening in Los Angeles, New Zealand, London, Chicago, and Toronto. While living in New York City, he has worked as a script reader for Martin Scorsese, as assistant to writer/performer Eric Bogosian and as assistant to the director Norman René on the film LONGTIME COMPANION. A graduate in literature from Yale University, Sachs was born in Memphis in 1965.

MARGOT BRIDGER (producer) is currently producing the feature ARRESTING GENA (director Hannah Weyer) with Good Machine, Inc. She has been working in independent film since graduating from Yale in 1987, starting as a producer's assistant on such projects as LONGTIME COMPANION and MISSISSIPPI MASALA. In addition to THE DELTA, she has produced the short films LADY and THE SALESMAN (winner of Best Short at the 1995 Sundance Film Festival). She began her collaboration with Sachs in 1992.

BENJAMIN P SPETH (Director of Photography) has been a working cinematographer in New York for the last seven years. He has shot a wide range of projects, from music videos to documentaries to features, including Jesse Hartman's HAPPY HOURę(winner of the Berlin Panorama), Roddy Bogawa's new feature Junk, and Gregg Bordowitz's film THE SUICIDE (starring Lothaire Bluteau, Brooke Smith and Elina Löwensohn). Speth also shot Sachs's previous film LADY.

AFFONSO GONCALVES (Editor) studied editing at the London International Film School and the American Film Institute, where he completed a master's degree. In 1992, he received the Fuji Scholarship Award for best editing for the short film Laid to Rest. Presently, he is editing the documentary feature, THE GREEN MONSTER.

BERNHARD BLYTHE (Production Designer) began work for film and theater while completing his B.A. in architecture at Yale. He designed both of Sachs's earlier shorts, as well as films for directors Gregg Bordowitz, Lisa Collins and John Miller-Monson. His sets for the theater have appeared at the Kitchen, P.S. 122, Intar, and the Circle Rep, among others.
