**MeMe Kelly’s BIO**

MeMe Kelly is a multi-faceted creative artist, who directed, wrote, and produced the feature “One Night in LA,” which has screened at notable festivals and was most recently an official selection of the Essence Film Festival. It was released on Tubi on Saturday, December 7, 2024, and is about a stressed out professor of African American Literature grappling with the return of cancer, fear of death, and what matters in life and love. MeMe is in pre-production on its sequel “Every Night in LA,” a heart-felt, warm family dramedy, whose script received two positive scores, landing it just shy of the top 20% out of 7,831 scripts in the prestigious Academy Nicholl Screenwriting contest. MeMe has directed three other short films that have been in notable festivals, and she has written two television comedy pilots, two additional feature movies, an hourly dramedy television script, and an hourly dramatic script that she hopes will be produced one day. She's also in pre-production on the Georgia Mae Project Documentary, which raises awareness of the high mortality rates of Black women to breast cancer. She has a B.A. and MFA as a playwright from the University of California and inherited her "Do Not Stop" spirit from her Mom, who was the first and youngest African American, female Superintendent of a local school district and Director of Military Schools for the Department of Defense, Atlantic and Germany regions. MeMe has also written and published two novels, two motivational books, and several e-Books. She's also written, produced, and directed several plays.
