With an obsessive attention for creative detail and a love for evoking fear, Dawn Angela Gilardi Producer & Director at 13 Wings Productions has always been interested in the horror genre.
Born in Park Ridge IL. 1970, the eldest of 3 sisters, the family grew up in the north west suburbs of Chicago in a very rural area.
"We lived in the wilderness and lots of time to create, plan and scare each other. Since I can remember I had vivid imagination. I would create monsters out of my parents snowmobile suits and these crazy down masks. I would wait for the perfect times to excuse myself from whatever we were doing, get into character, and would wait in a closet till someone opened the door."
Dawn giggles.
“I knew I was onto something since the stories would be told for decades.”
Dawn has studied every aspect of film and continues her education for her passion and love for the horror genre. Her first film "The Luring" was widely noticed and accepted into many film festivals. Dawn being named "Creature Feature Young blood."
