Meme Kelly
MeMe Kelly is a multi-faceted creative artist, who has written books, plays, and now films. She directed, wrote and produced the indie feature One Night in LA which has screened at notable festivals, including being an official selection of the Essence Film Festival. It was released on Tubi on December 7, 2024 and is about a stressed out professor of African American Literature grappling with the return of cancer 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's Nicholl's 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, and two hourly dramatic tv pilots that have been optioned by a new production company in Hollywood. 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 Black, the first female, and the youngest African American Superintendent of a local school district and Director of Military Schools for the Department of Defense, Atlantic and Germany regions.
