Dana Croschere is an award-winning filmmaker and passionate storyteller whose newest documentary, Rescued Hearts, is a dream that has been years in the making. After spending over 15 years volunteering at horse ranches and witnessing the extraordinary healing power of the horse-human connection, Dana knew she was meant to tell this story. 

The inspiration for her film-making journey came from one of the most challenging seasons of her life. Following two failed spine surgeries and a long battle with chronic pain, Dana embarked on a deeply personal path of self-discovery and healing—an experience that birthed her first film, LOVE HEALS, which has since touched countless lives around the world.

Dana and her partner Krisanna are devoted to making films that spread love, hope, and healing. With Rescued Hearts, they are capturing the magic, mystery, and science of healing with horses—and inviting audiences to witness the profound ways horses can help us open our hearts and connect more deeply with our authentic selves.

Using her bare feet, her loop station, and her electric cello, Brianna Tam envelops listeners in her mesmerizing and dynamic symphonic realm while simultaneously capturing their hearts with her charming and charismatic personality.

Based in Los Angeles, Brianna has captivated audiences at events ranging from immersive headliner concerts to transcendent EDM shows. She also delivered a riveting TEDx Talk performance and, in early 2023, was selected as a Top Shelf performer for NPR’s Tiny Desk Contest.

Previously, she was the recipient of a grant from South Arts in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts and the North Carolina Arts Council, which allowed her to engage in an Artist Residency with the Blowing Rock Art & History Museum.

Brianna’s gift of building worlds through sound translates into her compositions, with her score for the feature film Wild Fire winning “Best Soundtrack” at the 2023 Red Dirt Film Festival, as well as “Outstanding Original Soundtrack” at the 2024 New Jersey Film Festival. Her music was also featured in the trailer for the film The Performance.

Brianna has also composed for the biopic Healing Waters (2022), the game The Gold Crow (2022), and most recently completed the score for the film Rescued Hearts. Brianna’s inspiring single, “Bioluminescence,” was awarded First Place for the 2022 International Songwriting Competition. Brianna has composed for companies such as Bleeding Fingers, Eternal Music Group, and Artist Original

Brianna continues to captivate audiences worldwide with her innovative artistry and emotionally evocative soundscapes.
