Melanie Elliott

I grew up in the Bay Area around production as my mom is a commercial producer in San Francisco. Spent some time acting and earned a MFA from The Theatre School at DePaul University, with a special love for Shakespeare. Started the new millennium moving to Los Angeles where I quickly learned that my greater love was for production rather than acting. I did some production related work with Circle X Theatre Company and spent most of my time as an executive / legal assistant at Wolf, Rifkin, Shapiro, Schulman & Rabkin to pay off my student loans. Recently, I have an adoption/parenting blog called Mom To The Littlest E and served on the Board of Directors for Connect-A-Kid, a nonprofit dedicated to connecting every young adoptee with an adult adoptee mentor through team mentorship. While serving on the board and doing other creative projects, I learned I am highly adept at Internet research and can find a needle in a haystack online. I am also the creator of an innovative daytime talk show and fun game show that are both being pitched to producers. My goal and dream is to work in production, either producing my own shows or help others to fulfill their creative visions.
