Kelli Crawford

Los Angeles-based writer, actor, and producer. Born and raised in Michigan but spent a few years in NYC. I've written a number of pilots, features, novels, and plays. My articles and essays have appeared in various publications. My novel, The Rocker Chicks of Babe*Corps, received the “Outstanding Fiction” award at The Irvine Writer’s Conference in 2017. I'm repped by Chip MacGregor of MacGregor & Luedeke Literary.
I wrote a script called A Recipe for Joy (aka Christmas a la Carte), which was produced and released in foreign markets in 2021. It will air in the US on Lifetime December 9, 2022.
My pilot script, The Dominants, written with a partner, won the 2019 “35Pilot” Contest sponsored by She Called Action. The script was also a finalist in the 2019 Writers’ Assistant Network pilot contest.
As an actor I love “The Thea-tah,” and for a time I was a staff member and actor at The Street School Artist’s Club theater company. I have numerous credits in theatre and film and have studied with Howard Fine Acting Studio, A Noise Within, The Blank Theatre, The Groundlings, and Stella Adler Academy. I'm a former member of the online sketch comedy troupe, Sketch Shorty, as an actor/writer/director and editor. Some of notable sketches are Women Are Pigs, Adam and Evening, and Sex and the Pity.
I co-founded the production company, Frantic Lounge Films, which produced my short film, Voices Keri, which I wrote and star in.
I've recently done audio description work and would love to get into dubbing.
Music was my first love. I was first chair flute in jazz, symphony, and orchestra bands. But I went to college on the Sunset Strip. As a former staff writer for Rock City News, a Los Angeles music newspaper, I wrote music reviews for local bands and arena concerts. I was a co-promoter on the Strip booking bands into various clubs like the Whisky, The Troubadour, and The Roxy.
I love to travel and I have a fur kid named Trevi.
