Long Bio

Melissa Huff is an ambitious writer and filmmaker. She has written several short screenplays that have

been produced into short films. Her writing is motivated by the darker side of life. She loves to delve into the

cynicism of reality.

Melissa has been writing all of her life. From puppet shows to award winning short plays, she just keeps

pushing herself to create more and more. Her greatest inspirations come from the filmmaker Terry Gilliam and the

painter Frida Kahlo. Currently she is working on a dramatic television series and producing content for a YouTube

channel, The Secular HubCast.

In the future, Melissa sees herself creating both television and film content. She has a large store of ideas

floating around in her head. She wont stop until every one of them is realized. You can see some of her short films
