Melody George

Three-time Emmy® award-winning filmmaker Melody George views cinema as a powerful catalyst for social change. A high school student at the time of the Columbine school shootings, Melody was deeply affected by the tragedy and others that followed in its wake. These events motivated her to think seriously about a career path that would confront societal problems and attack them at the root. Some of her notable projects include the PBS documentary series "Life on the Line," Crystal Heart award-winner "Marbles with Thoreau," the feature film "Old Fashioned," and the Emmy® award-winning documentary "Understanding & Preventing Child Abuse." Melody recognizes cinema as an important tool, and her greatest passion is to tell stories that galvanize positive social change and draw people to the heart of God.
