About

Ellen is an award winning filmmaker, and the CEO of Maev--a film production company operating out of Brooklyn, New York. She has conceptualized and created everything from music videos and TV commercials to digital content and feature films. Her passion is film, and this passion for innovative and memorable storytelling lends itself to expression in numerous arenas: she plays guitar in a punk band, performs burlesque, and makes her therapist laugh in every session. Amid all of this she is able and willing to select and savor the world's most delicious cheeses. She loves people and has an empathic urgency to help their voices be heard. The integrity and preservation of justice, human rights, and the planet are responsibilities she fully embraces, and while her goals and ambitions grow larger each day she will still humbly drink wine from a box.
