A bit about our founder…

AVERY  🌻  ROUDA

Artist  ⚡ Writer ⚡ Filmmaker

Avery Rouda, Storytelling Shaman.

Since graduating from Chapman University, Dodge College of Film & Media Arts with a Bachelor’s in Screenwriting, Avery Rouda has expanded her narrative craftwork to all corners of the storytelling galaxy.

Avery began Enlighten Productions to help other artists diagnose and solve problems in a given opus. Whether it's a feature screenplay, your next big novel, or a TV show idea swirling in the back of your mind, Avery can help you bring those ideas to light, sharpening the vision so it speaks in the way it was imagined.

When it comes to crafting her passion projects, not a day goes by where Avery doesn't dream, write, edit, or outline one story or another. Currently, she is on tour screening her short film, Dream Catcher, at various film festivals around the world.

For more on Avery’s journey into storytelling, check out the recently published article in the LA Times about her directorial debut:

 
I started playing guitar when I was little, but I gave it up almost as quickly as I fell in love with it. Thirteen years later I’m actually playing this magical instrument I’ve adored for so long, remembering as I’m learning... And letting go of these conditioned fears about being perfect or good enough. I love singing and I love the craft - the making of things, like art ~ music. It lights my soul ablaze. Just wanted to say to anyone who’s trapped in feelings of doubt: the path of your dreams, the one you’re destined to walk, the path you came to earth to dance upon, is something you find step by step. 👣🎶 for me, playing the guitar is a way to soothe my soul and spark inspiration in my screenplays/writing. Practice makes practice, so try to find your way home to your heart - because the journey home is the greatest story ever told. Bring joy into your life. Be bold. Be fearless. Be yourself. The world can’t wait to see you shine! 🌈💖⚡️ #justforfun #learningguitar #music Keep Your Head Up by @bhwrd

Words can’t describe the joy I’m feeling today after premiering @dreamcatcherthefilm with all my closest friends and family. Nothing warms the heart quite like reciprocated shine from the eyes of those who truly see you for all that you are. So grateful for all these beautiful people who make my dreams come true every single day. And shouts to @newportbeachfilmfest for making my dream come true last night. #beledbylove 💘🌟🌟🌟🦋
