Meet The Team
Stonestreet Studios is more than a training ground—it's a creative home led by filmmakers, producers, educators, and artists who believe in hands-on, purpose-driven storytelling.
Founded by Alyssa Rallo Bennett and Gary O. Bennett, our team brings decades of experience from film, television, and theatre directly into the studio. From casting directors to cinematographers, acting coaches to editors, every staff member plays a role in shaping the next generation of screen creators.
We don’t just teach—we collaborate, challenge, mentor, and build. Meet the people who make it all possible.
