Meli Rockhold
Producer
(USA & South America)

My passion has always been the Entertainment Industry. I have more than 20 years of experience working in Paraguay, South America where my life has been focused until this point.  Having been born in Louisiana has caused me to be both bicultural and bilingual.  The advantage has been to be able to relate to both cultures in a seamless way. Organization, multitasking and creativity has always come to me naturally, from producing television shows and short films, to producing theater shows and organizing  different types of events. Managing substantial budgets and managing people has also been my strength. Production credits include:
