Kris Paul as Winnifred Mather

The part of Winnifred will be my debut film performance. Normally I work from my home office doing software and web development, but acting has always been something I’ve wanted to try. When the director, Heather, explained the plot to me I knew it would be a powerful film. Heather saw something in me that would be right for the part, and I was drawn to the story because it deals with a lot of difficult topics that need to be looked at more closely on screen and off.

John Vaughan Lemhouse as Jack

This is John’s first feature film appearance. Other film work includes, “Painting the Line” by Paul Bright. Recently, John was in Cottage Grove Theaters production of “Jekyll and Hyde” which ran this past October. He played Simon Stride.

Robert Slaughter as Ronnie

Robert was born in Los Angeles, and his ramblings have taken him as far away as Vietnam and China. He has spent most of his life in Eugene, Oregon, however, hating every minute of it. He is an aspiring writer, digital media publisher, and men’s fashion agent. He is actually a delivery driver, as befitting his skills in those three areas. His third novel, Take My Wife, will soon be available through his production company GlobalSlaughterMedia.

Rich Robison as Chief Allen

Rich had multiple roles off and on screen for IN HER BLOOD. A recent graduate from the Lane Community College Media Arts program, he played key roles in the film as Chief Allen, and is also the Director of Cinematography and Editor!

Doug also had multiple roles on and off screen of IN HER BLOOD. He was audio behind the scenes and troubleshooted the unusual problem of receiving Michael Jackson transmission while recording on the hill. On screen, Doug nails the evil property manager on the nose. (Picture: Doug Anders on Left and Benny Golson on right.)
