Amanda
Llewellyn
Amanda decided fairly early on into her film and TV career as a makeup and hair stylist that she needed to become a producer but it took more than a few years to make the switch. By that time, she and Wes were married and collaborating on all kinds of odd jobs in the industry from making props to writing and working on all kinds of sets in all kinds of crew positions all over Los Angeles. She often jokes that she and Wes combined are nine people in production…and that is no lie!
Amanda began writing by collaborating with Wes on the feature, "The Moment After" and soloed on the follow-up, "The Moment After II: The Awakening." Then for 12 and half years, Amanda took a TV detour as a reenactment segment producer for "Sid Roth's, It's Supernatural" helping to grow that audience to over 7.5 million viewers worldwide all the while continuing to write and produce award winning projects and short films. She is glad to be in the thick of development, writing and producing new and exciting films.
