Who is the Director?
Jamin Winans is a filmmaker who has created a cult following because of his unique and thought-provoking stories. His movie, INK, was an independent hit due to its creative storytelling and profound script.
Jamin created INK and The Frame with the help of his wife Kiowa Winans. She typically produces his films and helps craft the story. The success of INK led to The Frame and his latest documentary, Childhood 2.0. Childhood 2.0 has gotten millions of views on YouTube as it discusses the dangers of mental health in children because of technology.
Jamin is not only a director but he is also a music composer. The music in the Frame is an integral part of the movie and complements its emotional story. He created the score for each of his feature films which adds only another layer to the experience of watching his films.
All the actors in The Frame deliver compelling performances that bring a peculiarly captivating script to life. Our two main characters, Alex and Sam, are portrayed by David Carranza and Tiffany Mualem.
Despite the dramatically different lives of Sam and Alex, a paramedic and cargo thief respectively, they share an unexpected connection – their love for watching TV. Little do they know that this will initiate an unparalleled shift in both of their destinies. David and Tiffany both do a phenomenal job in the film and give the audience a glimpse into the backstory of their characters.
