Rescheduled for
Tuesday, November 17
11 am to 12:30 pm
Kellie Madison is an American writer, producer, and director. Her passion for film derives from the stories she wants to tell “that inspire, entertain and move people.” Kellie’s filmmaking journey began when she connected with Clark Peterson, from the Oscar winning film (Monster), to help produce Dear Mr. Gacy. Madison wrote and directed The Caul, which became a top-ten finalist in Ron Howard’s prestigious short film contest, “Project Imagination” sponsored by Canon. This science fiction piece was uniquely created by building a story inspired by 10 still photographs selected by the contest.
The Tank, written, produced, and directed by Kellie, distributed by Open Road Films has recently been released on Amazon. The action thriller stars Jack Davenport (Pirates of the Caribbean series) and Brad William Henke (Pacific Rim). Based on a true story, The Tank follows six candidates on a Mars mission simulation gone awry. Kellie is currently casting the supernatural horror feature film, The Wall. She has several feature film projects in various stages of development including the grounded Sci-Fi action feature Abduction, and the action feature film The Gate, based on her short film that has over 2 million views on Youtube. In addition to directing features, she has shadowed on numerous television series including the CBS drama Extant, starring Halle Berry, and NBC franchise, Heroes Reborn. Kellie is a member of DGA, Women In Film, and Alliance of Women Directors.
