Melody Herr
Writer | Producer | Director | Stowe Selected Project | Page Quarterfinalist | AFF Second Rounder
Fort Mill, SC
Born to a teenage-single mom, and the redheaded stepchild of not one, but two, alcoholic stepfathers, award-winning writer-director Melody Herr is as industrious as the factory she grew up next to. Both hardworking and adventurous, she fled Detroit to spend years living and traveling around the world with her growing family. Now she escapes through her passion for telling universal, female-driven stories that connect on an emotional level. Melody’s hour-long drama/comedy TAPPED OUT is a finalist in the Stowe Fellowships, a quarterfinalist in the PAGE Awards, and AFF Second Rounder. Receiving awards from Toronto, Vancouver, and other festivals worldwide, Melody’s latest produced short, X-ED OUT, won Best Drama at the London Indie Short Film Festival. Melody holds an MFA in Writing for Film and TV from Emerson College, recently produced the feature film DIFFRACTION, and is the Retreat Director for Roadmap Writers.
