Melissa is a writer, filmmaker, photographer and archival producer with over 20 years of experience wearing many different hats in the entertainment industry. A common thread throughout her work is the theme of outcasts - those cast aside by society or with psyches at odds with the status quo. She loves shining a light on the surreal and the poetry of the every day through her unique visual language. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, daughter and goofball dog, Murray.
