ABOUT ME
K E L L Y P E N D Y G R A F T
HEY, I'M KELLY.
​
I'm originally from Louisville, KY and moved to LA 20 years ago. I started out in the biz doing everything from craft services to wardrobe-even make up and occasionally holding a boom mic. I've worked with some of the biggest, most respected talents/legends in show biz and I love it all.
I made my way onto the screen doing TV commercials; I think I'm somewhere near the 150 mark, which is awesome and I'm super proud of that. Commercials afforded me to start making my own movies such as "The Last Girl", a tv pilot called "Watersigns", etc. After gaining some recognition of my work in festivals and simply reaching out to folks I've wanted to work with for a long time- Now I'm a full blown producer working on other people's movies. I have a few projects in the works that I'm very excited about!! I'm producing two new features and I have a recent film called "The Night Passenger" circulating the film circuits along with "Daughtering" -another short film I'm chomping at the bit to show. I just had a small part in a film called "The Good Side of Bad" so I'm still acting here and there, which also makes me a very lucky girl. You can also see me in my latest commercials for IBM, Ford 150 Electric and a new spot for Crypto.com
