Free Resource: 3-Minute Reset Pressure Release
From Stephanie Arapian – For when you don’t have alot of time, but need a short, powerful reset to get your energy back on track
Writer, Producer and Director Melissa Blue has over 25 years of experience in the entertainment industry.
As an actor, she graduated from Ball State University with a degree in musical theatre, and performed in dozens of plays and musicals, and on shows and films such as “John Adams” and “A Haunting”.
As a writer, producer, DP and director, she was the Showrunner for two award winning web series (“Life Group” and “Don’t Judge Me”) ,as well as running Rock Your Reel (a demo reel company who has produced well over 1000 custom scenes for actors) and Bluelit Studios (a production partner for those actors/writers/directors who want to make their own projects).
She’s worked with a myriad of actors and creatives to help them produce their own work, as well as in the corporate space producing content that helped those businesses to gain over $50M in funding. But most importantly, she is wife to writer Jonathan and dog mom to Lucy, and lives in Los Angeles, CA.
Stephanie creates bold, character-driven stories with heart, wit, and high stakes. Her storytelling journey began (ironically) as a Catholic Youth Liturgical Minister, but it led to her teaching English abroad and earning her MFA at London’s East15 Acting School, where she trained at Shakespeare’s Globe and the Russian Institute of Theatrical Arts.Â
Specializing in complex, witty women navigating dystopian futures, deep vulnerabilities, and redemption arcs, Stephanie thrives in the intersection of sci-fi, drama, and emotional storytelling. Her latest project, Rewind To Her, is an LGTBQ+ sci-fi drama with a tech-infused twist. As a queer artist, she’s passionate about amplifying unheard stories and tackling big ideas.Â
A firm believer in mindset, and with firsthand experience of the challenges of turning ideas into reality while juggling multiple hats, Stephanie also helps multi-hyphenate artists stay grounded through meditation, a practice that has been instrumental in her own journey.
When not crafting worlds on screen, she’s mixing cocktails, running a temporary housing business, devouring books and plotting her next adventure.
