Holly Lynn Ellis Production Reel

Clips from my films Prairie Love; Nailing Jello; Turtle Hill, Brooklyn; Booby Traps; The Graduates and Gentle Cycle Only.

The Dishwasher // OFFICIAL TRAILER

I was thrilled to work with the good guys at Rodanti Brothers on this Tribeca Award-winning short (and act as the sharp-edged sous chef).

Prairie Love Trailer

I was producer, co-writer and star of this 2011 Sundance selection. The Hollywood Reporter called it "a gratifying departure from overly predictable indie dramas."

Turtle Hill, Brooklyn Trailer

This Audience-Award winner was written by and starred two of my closest friends and colleagues. I was proud to serve as a producer and play a supporting role. 

Booby Traps

Producing and acting in this hilarious three-minute trailer remains one of the highlights of my career. Someday, we'll bring the feature version of this baby to life!
