IDTV ACTION FEST TEAM

Janell Smith

Festival Founder and Executive Producer

Janell Vela Smith has always called Austin, Texas home. Unlike other girls her age, as a child her father would take her to see boxing and wrestling matches which she found fascinating. A bright and energetic athlete throughout her life, Janell’s academic years centered on her studies and a host of extra curricular activities. She enjoyed everything from baton twirling, cheer-leading and even gymnastics. As a student she took a great interest in art and business as well as geography and world culture. As a result, Janell found herself captivated by the artistic flair and athletic discipline displayed in martial arts films such as "Billy Jack" and "Enter The Dragon."
Janell's passions have led to a career as a Stuntwoman, Actress, Stunt Coordinator and Producer. Janell created Iron Dragon TV Productions to inspire a new generation of content creators while introducing legendary Action content to new audiences.
