Melissa’s super powers include telling big stories in little packages, using hilarity to tackle hard topics, and delivering strong cuts at lightning speed. She splits her time between documentary and non-profit video.
As a documentarian, she’s especially drawn to challenging projects that – despite imperfect footage or unexpected plot lines – shine a light on today’s most pressing issues through humor and heartfelt characters. She’s edited the award-winning documentaries “She Got Balls!”, “Dash, Snowboarder, Age 92” and “Married in Spandex.”
She also works on advocacy, fundraising and short social videos for orgs like Greenpeace, the National Women’s Law Center, Edutopia/The George Lucas Educational Foundation, Ipas, and the Pew Charitable Trusts.
