David Alford

David is the founder of Cross Purposes Productions. “Royal Ashes” will be his third film as both a writer and director (Cross Purposes and Found.).

Hannah Stam

Hannah Stam is a senior college student at Milligan University. She has been performing on stage for around fourteen years. Hannah is thankful for the opportunity to be a part of another Cross Purposes Productions project. Hannah has worked as the Assistant director for Cross Purposes (2019), Found (2021) and Royal Ashes (2022). She has also had the privilege to work in many other roles with Cross Purposes Productions. Hannah believes theatre, movies, books and any type of storytelling is extremely important, storytelling is how humans experience a life or time that is different from their own! She loves acting because it helps her understand people who are very different from herself. She says she hasn’t found a better way to understand another person than to walk a mile in their shoes, and for Hannah that’s what acting is all about.

At 18, he decided to pursue a career in editing and attended the Zaki Gordon school of Cinematic Arts at Liberty University. Since then, he’s edited several shorts, including his award-winning short film The Chance of a Lifetime, and is currently working on editing the feature film Don’t Say My Name, starring newcomer Brooklyn Wittmer and Cameron Arnett of Overcomer.
