Melanie Merkosky

Melanie Merkosky strikes me as someone who happened to stand at a turning point. Born in Canada in 1980, she began as an actress and played Jennie in lonelygirl15, that early internet series which, looking back, helped invent a whole new way to tell stories online before streaming was ordinary. What I admire most is that she didn't stop at performing: she expanded into directing, screenwriting and television producing, the instincts of a maker rather than just a face on screen. She even keeps her own website, a small mark of self-reliance. I find myself quietly rooting for creators like her who build their own narratives.
