Testimonials for Melissa J White:
Melissa J White of Blogshop signed on as blog editor and as a blogger for the festival and was instrumental in our outreach efforts. Melissa kept the fine team of bloggers she assembled busy with assignments ranging from profiles on the SFFF Directors, screening previews, local interest, pre-festival activities and 2011 SFFF screening and event reviews. Not only did this flurry of blog posts keep our site dynamic during the lead up period and during the festival, it provided a bevvy of diverse and compelling voices offering insights, recommendations and musings that general announcements can’t convey. Our bloggers gave the SFFF a human touch, and expanded our ‘personality’ beyond our brand.
-Diane Schneier Perrin, Executive Director, Santa Fe Film Festival
One of my writing partners, Jay Abramowitz, a 20 year professional with multiple network television credits, was very impressed with Melissa’s notes on our latest screenplay. As her teacher, I learned that Melissa was a seething canister of creativity who crafted a beautiful short script in our writing class as well as an accomplished feature with very realized, three-dimensional characters.
–Tom Musca, Screenwriter, “Little Nikita”, “Stand and Deliver”
Melissa J. White and I, Mahesh Shimpi, share a professional relationship in the creative field of cinema making. I am a budding filmmaker from New York and currently working on a film to be published in the festival circuit. I got introduced to Melissa for my current project on LinkedIn Filmmakers forum.
I was seeking professional help to review my screenplay during the pre-production phase of my upcoming film, ‘Circle of Trust’. I hired Melissa as my script doctor. My decision to hire her was purely based on her merits. She did an excellent job of analyzing and recommending changes that could enhance the quality of my screenplay and thus my film. Melissa’s feedback made me realize the weak areas in my script and I decided to get the screenplay re-written from her. Melissa delivered a solid, compact and extremely creative rewrite within a short span of time. I was thoroughly impressed with her narrative skills. Another striking aspect of working with Melissa was that she did not dictate or forced her ideas on me. She took time to discuss, gain deep understanding of the subject and then work on it.
I would recommend Melissa without reservation to anyone seeking quality and perfection in their work. She is very talented as well as friendly to talk to and respects ideas and opinions of people she is working with. She will be an asset to any project/organization she works for. I wish Melissa good luck and do look forward to working with her again in the future.
–Mahesh Shimpi, Filmmaker, MI Production
Melissa is an intelligent business person’s dream to work with; she is thoughtful, thought provoking, creative, articulate, fun and basically the consummate professional.
–Bette Bradbury, Bradbury Communications and WESST, NM
