They/Them

Writer

Melody Ocampo-Rhoades (they/them) graduated from the School of Film and Television at Loyola Marymount University in 2023, completing the screenwriting track with an interest in development and the goal of becoming a writer/producer. They also have experience on-set as a P.A., sound mixer, and boom operator. Having a very intersectional experience as a mixed Asian-American queer writer from the American South, the main appeal of writing to them is exploring the narratives of characters from all different walks of life. They lean towards writing heartfelt comedy with a "truth is stranger than fiction" approach. They're also trying to bring back the early 2000s slightly inappropriate family movie. Mel doesn't truly have a favorite movie, but if you ask them, they'll probably say it's Heathers. When not writing screenplays or working on set, Mel enjoys drawing, maintaining their Duolingo streak, and working on their sci-fi action webcomic.
