Whether it's a short film, TV pilot or novel, I love working with creatives and their stories.
Here's what some of my colleagues and clients have said:
Receiving guidance from Kelli on my pilot was such a great and comforting experience. She read my work with intentional depth and care to provide me with actionable notes to make the script stronger. When we sat together, we went through the script scene by scene to ensure that the structure was rock solid, we discussed character intentions that I wanted but weren’t made clear for the reader and she pushed me to explore new avenues that would work for the world I crafted. I would highly suggest working with Kelli. Releasing any piece of art is scary (for me at least) as a writer but Kelli made me feel safe and secure - even when she challenged and pushed me to think differently to make the work better. I walked into the meeting a nervous wreck but left feeling like a damn good writer. If you need support and guidance from a skilled writer, Kelli is your girl!
-John Dargan (Writer and Story Producer)
Kelli is a professional with incredible talent and influence. She carries unique leadership skills that make people feel seen and supported. I feel like I have grown in my own writing skills and creativity just by being around Kelli. She is a joy to be around and impacts every person she meets.
-Rachel Gray (Writer)
Working on "Who Wants To Star In A Movie" was a transformational process, and thanks to Kelli's discerning eye and invaluable feedback, my project evolved into a well structured and compelling project. Her ability to pinpoint areas of improvement and suggest innovative solutions is truly unparalleled.
I wholeheartedly recommend Kelli's services to anyone looking to elevate their writing to new heights. Her professionalism, expertise, and passion for storytelling makes her the perfect collaborator for any writer seeking to refine their craft.
-Anis Taylor (Screenwriter and Producer)
Kelli has been an invaluable resource to my career as a screenwriter. Kelli has an incredible gift for dissecting the work on the page and providing open-ended feedback that helps me better define intention, themes, and overall direction of the story. It's safe to say that Kelli's grounded and curious feedback makes each new draft better than the last. She brings a wealth of knowledge, talent, and experience to the collaboration process that always makes me feel like I'm in trustworthy hands. I feel motivated and inspired after conversations with Kelli about my work. She will not be getting rid of me any time soon.
-RheAnn Mennefield (Dramaturg, Writer, Producer)
Working with Kelli has been a delight. Her enthusiasm and passion for what she does truly shine through her work. One of my pet peeves is non-responsiveness and that is something I've never experienced in my dealings with her.
-Gibrey Allen (Filmmaker)
Kelli has been an incredible friend & mentor, helping me craft and refine successful pitch decks and treatments while teaching me how to maximize my post-production capabilities and resources. She is always introducing me to new people in the industry, expanding my network, and creating opportunities for collaboration. More specifically, there isn’t a project she isn’t willing to lend a hand on whether it’s writing, producing, or in post. She is a rare combination of talent, generosity, and expertise. Kelli demonstrates the epitome of selflessness as a friend and unwavering support and guidance in the consultant space, and I know anyone who works with her will feel the same.
