    About Kelly O.

    5.0
    (3)
    I'm a professional actor, filmmaker, editor, and teacher, and I've been exploring this wonderful craft for over 30 years. The lessons I've learned from acting and from teaching acting have served me well in other parts of my life, and it's always an honor to get the opportunity to do it. As a filmmaker, I have directed great actors and good actors and non actors. I've spent enough time in the edit room to know what works on camera, and how to fix what doesn't. I learn more every time I direct or teach an actor, and I'd love to opportunity to explore with you. Plus, I'm kind of hilarious, so we'll have fun. Thanks.

    Kelly is one of the best actors I have ever had the privilege of knowing and working beside. She has a never ending enthusiasm for the creative life. I’d work with her anytime. Any where.

    Kelly is an amazing actor. Whether on camera or on stage, she makes bold, creative, interesting choices, and she brings a total honesty to her performances. She also brings great humor to her work and her life. She is a delight to be around and learn from. And very inspiring. I LOVE KELLY.
