KATY MCCLELLAN
Writer Producer Director

I'm a British writer, producer & director living in Brooklyn, NY.

My fourteen years in the television industry have taken me from producing on some the UK's most popular unscripted series and documentaries to writing & series-producing animated comedy shorts. In recent years I have been developing scripted & unscripted digital content for big brands and major US networks.
