About Brenda

I grew up in a small town in rural Wisconsin & dreamed of working in TV & Film.

Ray Bradbury changed my life when he invited me to participate in his Hollywood Emersion Program for TV & Film students.

I’ve written & directed award winning short films in distribution. My scripted projects star: Jaeden Martell (It, St Vincent's) Ed Asner, Francois Chau, Marianne Muellerleile, & Kim Rhodes.

I started A Bunch of Productions & focus on developing shows & writing.
Queer Church is our first feature Doc now streaming on OUT tv.

Before this I was a staff creative at ABC, NBC & King World in Entertainment Marketing. Creative directing, writing, directing and producing trailers & promos launching shows including Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, How To Get Away With Murder, Desperate Housewives, The Good Doctor, Brothers & Sisters, The Oscars to name a few.

It’s important to me to mentor those new to the industry and give back to the community. I helped develop a new Hollywood Emersion Program for UWO & created a scholarship for students pursuing a degree in TV & Film.

My family is multi-cultural. I’m a Stepmom. We have a blending of families and cultures which always keeps things interesting.

I started my career as a radio DJ, NBC affiliate in Milwaukee, Los Angeles landed at King World & NBC and then staffed @ ABC/Disney.

  • 25 - Code for Traitor

    25 - Code for Traitor Budget: $1M - $5M | Action Drama Scores an 8 out of 10 on the Blacklist!  When the people you love are the people you should fear!  JADE COBRA, the Triad's top assassin, realizes there’s more to life than death when she sees herself in CRICKET, the daughter of her next target.  Jade turns on the Triad and, together with Cricket, they seek revenge on the Dragonhead who has destroyed both their lives, unraveling his dark and twisted secrets; secrets more dangerous than either of them would ever imagine.  It's The Professional meets La Femme Nikita.   BLACKLIST REVIEWS: “Kudos! Hollywood is desperate for an action star that’s not a straight white male! Cast Michelle Ang, Celina Jade or any gun wielding Asian female newcomer who can kick ass in this amazing role. With an all Asian cast this series is sure to turn heads if executed properly. " “Action packed with hard hitting chase scenes and violence that leaves your stomach churning, 25 is a thriller not to be messed with. Adept at action scenes, the writer uses strong visual cues that are unique and twisted, evoking a sense of strange engagement as the audience follows along as voyeurs of the hunted.” “The writing is excellent - it's stylish, it's concise, and it moves at a very fast clip. The writer has done a fantastic job of making the action lines lyrical without adding too much flowery language that would otherwise bog down the script. It's great to see an action thriller centered on Asian American characters”
