KELLY WOLFERT—Director Kelly Wolfery started behind the lens as a cinematographer for 25 odd years, before transitioning from that award-winning role to add writing and directing to his skillset. As an emerging filmmaker, Kelly soon realized he had to tackle the role of producer as well to complete some of his story ambitions.
