creator of her own work through my studio and in my audition rooms. I bring her in whenever she is right for a role I'm casting, and she always delivers. Her passion, heart, courage and tenacity shine through in her work as both an actress and filmmaker.

“In a world of people constantly trying to sell you their services (most of them overpromising and underdelivering), Melissa Center is, by far, the real deal. We worked together on my album campaign and she had my back all the way. This is a woman who goes above and beyond to make sure her clients succeed. The only reason you might not reach or surpass your goal if you hire her is if you refuse to get out of your own way. And she'll help you with that, too.” - Aliza Hava https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/500b6819c4aa54032560ca08/44ee11fe-c8d4-41fc-92fd-8ed0dee0f574/maxresdefault.jpg I Want To Center Myself - “Melissa helped me find the ability and the power within myself, and a small army of friends and colleagues who once asked, helped raise me up to make what seemed impossible possible.” - Amy Krause https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/500b6819c4aa54032560ca08/a9fe2582-b42f-4186-afe5-cf847579debc/0-1.jpg I Want To Center Myself - "Melissa Center's thorough knowledge of crowdfunding strategies and tactics generates results.

As I mentioned above, I am an actor, award-winning creator, and yes - crowdfunding expert. My acting work has spanned from roles on This is Us (NBC), Grey's Anatomy (ABC), & Masters of Sex (SHO), to a tour of A Chorus Line to Sex with Strangers at the Hollywood Fringe. As a creator I am most known for telling bold, visceral women’s stories. My short-film, R.V, about the threat to women’s reproductive rights, reached half a million people online and was recognized by international festivals & conferences. My one-woman show, “Marrying Jake Gyllenhaal” received global media attention & will be debuting in New York City in 2024. My foray into crowdfunding began with a web series called Missed Connections Live way back with web series were a novel thing to do. I was considered a pioneer in the space, and a member of the original WGAe Digital Caucus. The success of that project propelled me to co-write, produce, star in (and crowdfund) my feature film debut - All I Want (Amazon Prime, TubiTV, Roku, Vudu). Through the crowdfunding of this film, I learned WHAT NEVER EVER TO DO AGAIN!!! So I hired the one and only Justin Giddings, AKA “The Kickstarter Guy,” to teach me the ropes. After raising 155% of my goal for “Marrying Jake Gyllenhaal” during the height of the Global Pandemic, many people wanted to know how I pulled it off, and if I could help them. The rest is history. I have supported artists in raising over $1M for their art. In the process, I have learned the specific needs we women have in advocating for ourselves and asking for what we need. I have also been attuned to the catastrophic rise in antisemitism around the world. As such, I am inspired to ensure Jewish women’s stories continue to be told. Because empathy matters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/500b6819c4aa54032560ca08/151d2159-b88f-4291-9d0a-304d514473cb/%23febcf6+%283%29.png I Want To Center Myself - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/500b6819c4aa54032560ca08/b254f097-7b41-40e6-a809-ebf0243d2425/LaunchBoom+Certified+Expert+Banner_White.png I Want To Center Myself - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. http://www.melissacenter.com/crowdfunding4creatives daily 0.75 2023-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/500b6819c4aa54032560ca08/1607732071513-0SK0BHTHWIV2ZOJCY347/1551192616016.jpg HELP ME TELL MY STORY (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/500b6819c4aa54032560ca08/7b51c983-944e-42ba-b34d-6f5338ea617a/53766506_10102322210523490_78697132441206784_n.jpg HELP ME TELL MY STORY (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/500b6819c4aa54032560ca08/1607742857719-V0FUJ4PZFKM4689AN8L7/Orange+Rustic+Autumn+Photo+Collage+Twitter+Header+%281%29.png HELP ME TELL MY STORY (Copy) http://www.melissacenter.com/jewishqueen daily 0.75 2024-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/500b6819c4aa54032560ca08/3efcabf4-44a8-4e27-bf4a-415899f7348e/Jewish+Queen+%281%29.png The Jewish Queen Initiative http://www.melissacenter.com/press daily 0.75 2025-05-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/500b6819c4aa54032560ca08/9f70812d-b3a5-4c44-a28e-a9b1b7f91051/Melissa+Mag+Cover.png PRESS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/500b6819c4aa54032560ca08/845a13cb-7641-4b9e-96d6-15c966f925a1/Screen+Shot+2024-01-24+at+11.29.54+AM.jpg PRESS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/500b6819c4aa54032560ca08/ec84b777-f926-4f81-8f62-0c290a222d42/IMG_6328.jpg PRESS - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/500b6819c4aa54032560ca08/59f0f763-caee-4369-957c-faa2a994532f/Screen+Shot+2024-01-24+at+3.40.47+PM.png PRESS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/500b6819c4aa54032560ca08/a2656c08-130b-4dfd-997d-44ebdd55ce15/Screen+Shot+2025-05-23+at+1.22.57+PM.png PRESS - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/500b6819c4aa54032560ca08/a3edbd96-6cf6-4337-a157-a1981a3bbd57/Screen+Shot+2024-01-24+at+3.52.19+PM.png PRESS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/500b6819c4aa54032560ca08/97b7bf61-3d1f-4b48-ae92-725525612294/IMG_6329.jpg PRESS - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/500b6819c4aa54032560ca08/1712071380792-CDI45ZDQG5RXALJMRT4E/c-MelissaCenter__IMG9086_1695405795516.jpg PRESS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/500b6819c4aa54032560ca08/1712071184481-0U07QH2AFLKLCIKOWNNU/Screen+Shot+2024-04-02+at+11.19.38+AM.png PRESS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/500b6819c4aa54032560ca08/1712071247132-DWELXD0W04I48H4O7ZCY/MV5BMTc1Mzg5NTUyMl5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwOTIzNTYzNzE%40._V1_FMjpg_UX1000_.jpg PRESS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/500b6819c4aa54032560ca08/1712071299073-A1EU1GAK8WFXACXI9UYS/images.jpg PRESS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/500b6819c4aa54032560ca08/1748022669636-VQHTYA07O1HJOQ2N3CYK/filmmaking-conversations-podcast-with-damien-swaby-_6pifEu9o4LP.jpg PRESS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/500b6819c4aa54032560ca08/1723058635119-FNASAP5KYPVYETKP3LY3/512x512bb.jpg PRESS - No. 356 - Melissa Center On Crowdfunding And Marrying Jake Gyllenhaal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/500b6819c4aa54032560ca08/1712071488340-7Y7998QQLFLERSKN69CN/1707857135380.jpg PRESS - 87.
