CHICAGO FIRE GUEST STAR ON NBC:

“I've known Melissa Center as a committed actress & bold creator of her own work through my studio and in my audition rooms. I bring her in whenever she is right for a role I'm casting, and she always delivers. Her passion, heart, courage and tenacity shine through in her work as both an actress and filmmaker. I look forward to what's next for this promising artist.”

It happened organically. After successfully crowdfunding my own projects, fellow artists started to seek me out for guidance. Since then, I’ve guided 65+ campaigns that have collectively raised over $2.1M.

Here’s how you can get there:
Center Yourself Crowdfunding (1-on-1 coaching)
Crowdfunding Made Simple (DIY course)
