About Kelly

Kelly Jo Brick is a Sundance Fellow and alum of the Women In Film Writer/Showrunner Mentoring Program. She received specialized training through the FBI Citizens Academy and is a member of a national intelligence-gathering agency dedicated to protecting US infrastructures.

Originally from a small town in the heart of Wisconsin’s dairy country, Kelly Jo developed a love for storytelling early on, when as a child she’d gather up her stuffed animals and toy horses to create adventure after adventure. With degrees in creative writing and English, she graduated with honors from the University of Wisconsin where she played trombone in the highly acclaimed Wisconsin Marching Band. After working as a copywriter, she relocated to Los Angeles where she is now the Vice Chair of the WGA Genre Committee.

From crime to mysteries and thrillers, and to underdogs and dysfunctional families, Kelly Jo is fascinated with building the journeys and adventures of characters put into situations where they have to struggle, grit and grind through huge hurdles and do so with heart, drive and passion.
