SILENT BUT DEADLY and SILENT BUT DEADLY 2 were written, produced, directed and edited by Jeff Cioletti and Lou Tambone.

JEFF CIOLETTI hails from Jersey City, NJ and so far has three feature-length documentaries under his belt: MILLENNIUM'S END: THE FANDOM MENACE (2000), CHRONOTRIP (2002), and UNWOUND (2003).

MILLENNIUM'S END: THE FANDOM MENACE (2000) was a hit in 2000 hot on the heels of STAR WARS EPISODE I: THE PHANTOM MENACE. The timing was not a mistake as Jeff was hard at work on the film a good three years before EPISODE I graced the silver screen. The film chronicles the excitement and hype leading up to the first STAR WARS prequel.

CHRONOTRIP (2002) is a documentary about the modern day theories about time travel. It uses many sci-fi films and TV shows as a guideline but travels into real-world scenarios and theories from some of the world's top experts on the subject. DR. WHO fans will really enjoy the interviews with many of the shows cast members.

UNWOUND (2003) explores the world of toy robots, from the earliest Japanese scrap-metal pieces to the not-so-ancient Transformer and Robotech variety. The documentary also gives special attention to the modern-day DIY, remote-controlled battling robot craze.

 

LOU TAMBONE is a web designer from West Paterson, NJ. He may not have many films under his belt but he's no amateur in the field. He graduated from Rutgers University in 1993 with a major in TV Production/Theater Arts with a specialization in Editing, which he's always found to be the most challenging and rewarding part of filmmaking, not to mention the most fun.

Lou also has another persona that STAR WARS fans on the internet might recognize. He's known as T'bone and runs the STAR WARS megasite, STARWARZ.COM. He's been running T'bone's SW Universe over there since early 1996 and it's still going strong today with sections for every STAR WARS enthusiast including Cut Scenes, Prequel News, Rare Photos and more. He also handles a host of other sites and is very active in the STAR WARS Online Community.

Lou was a production consultant on Jeff's MILLENNIUM'S END, helping with editing and general ideas. However, he looked forward to working with Jeff on a project together. SILENT BUT DEADLY was the perfect experiment to see if the two could actually handle a production together, equally. The film was completed and no one was killed, so the two hope to work together on a semi-regular basis.

Lou lives at home with his wife, Louisa, son Zachary, and Golden Retriever, Max.
