The faces behind the camera

Obsydia Studios Team
Melanin Monroe
Melanin Monroe
Owner / Writer / Videographer / Editor
The visionary behind Obsydia Studios. Melanin founded the studio with one goal, to prove that virtual filmmaking deserves the same respect as any indie production. She writes, directs, films, and edits every project that leaves the studio, from scripted drama series to music videos. When she's not behind the camera, she's building sets, casting talent, and running operations for a growing production company. Also the owner of Beaut L'Afrique. Her black is magical and her work speaks for itself.
Braxton Blackwood
Braxton Blackwood
Director of Production & Brand Design
Braxton owns the look of Obsydia Studios, both the worlds our shows live in and the way the studio shows up everywhere else. He builds and finalizes every set, sources the props and animations, secures the locations, and designs the merch, graphics, and promotional art that carry the brand. Nothing gets scheduled until his sets are standing, which means the whole production calendar moves at his pace. A builder, scripter, photographer, DJ, landscaper, and stylist, there's almost nothing in Second Life he can't do. He also acts and coaches across our productions. Founder of Kingdom of Noir and KING Founder Rigorous of Kappa Iota Nu Gamma Fraternity Inc.
Tyisha Blackwood
Tyisha Blackwood
Director of Talent & Strategic Partnerships
Tyisha runs how Obsydia grows its talent and how the studio meets the world. She leads the Actor Academy and the casting pipeline that finds new actors and trains them up, runs the studio's campaigns, and chases the press, radio, and award show opportunities that put our name in front of people. She plans and runs our events, from premieres to the Christmas gala, and she's the person cast and creators come to when they need something. She also sources and closes the sponsorships and partnerships that keep the studio growing, and she acts and coaches across our productions. Founder and Monarch of Delta Kappa Xi II, Big Sister Luminous, and a firm believer that those who can imagine anything can create the impossible.
Roulette Brown
Roulette Brown
Production Manager
Roulette runs every production from first prep through final wrap. She confirms sets are built and landmarked before anything gets scheduled, builds the shooting schedule around cast availability so nobody is double booked, sends the calls, tracks confirmations, and runs the avatar and tech checks before a single scene rolls. When a production ships on time, it's because she held the line. She's also an actor and acting coach, and appears across several Obsydia productions.
Seth Ledco
Seth Ledco
Marketing Manager
Seth brings the ideas that move the needle. From the Social Media Rewards Contest to engagement strategies across Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook, he's always thinking about how to put more eyes on Obsydia's work. An SL adventurer and creator at heart, he's big on style, creativity, and community. If there's a way to make Obsydia louder, Seth is already pitching it.
