Melissa Bolton-Klinger is an award-winning DGA Director and Creative Director with an uncanny knack for grabbing audiences by the (eye)balls. She’s made her mark in the TV and Film industry, crafting commercials, content, and campaigns that are as engaging as they are unforgettable. She is well-versed in working with celebrity talent, animals, Influencers™, VFX, stunts, and many cooks in the kitchen.
Her creative prowess is as expansive as her witty humor. Melissa trained at LA’s famed The Groundlings where she honed her “funny” and learned how to connect with performers and write on the fly. She always shoots the script but also captures impromptu additional bits. MBK is unofficially known around the celebrity circuit as the “Best in the Biz,” bending the time-space continuum when TMZ-worthy talent is only available for limited amounts of time, hence the hard-earned accolade “Fastest Living Director” (in Los Angeles).
She recently picked up a Grand Clio for her work with the cast of Reno 911. It was very heavy.
