WINNER - 2005 COLUMBINE FILM PRODUCTION AWARD / WINNER - 2002 COLUMBINE AWARD for BEST SHORT STORY, filmmaker ROSALEE MAYEUX marks her feature documentary debut with the upcoming COYOTE NIGHTS - LA. Currently being lensed by veteran Texas producer Kelly Frazier, this vibrant story of teenage life in the suburbs of Los Angeles chronicles the lives of Mayeux’s two sons, and then broadens to other teens. From the Hollywood Hills to the Valley, its a wake up call for parents and a shout out to their kids.
Mayeux began her career as a Ford model in NY and across Europe, eventually settling in LA with a Columbia Pictures, then ABC television contracts. With an acting career spanning twenty years, Mayeux felt uniquely qualified when she moved behind the lens and received a producing scholarship to Los Angeles Film School. First producing three shorts, then directing her own spec spot for American Express, OH NO!, a one minute movie which made the festival circuit, and finally a mortgage company spot which sold.
Mayeux credits Jeff Armstrong, Executive Producer, A Band Apart, Commercials Division; Dave Kleinman, Rush Hour, and Dan Lauria, The Wonder Years, for their leadership in moving her into directing.

KELLY FRAZIER
Director of Photography
After entering Baylor University with the original intent of studying law, Frazier discovered that her passion for writing and producing overshadowed her desire to enter the legal profession. She traded Law for a Communications degree. By day, Frazier attended classes, and by night she worked as a writer, editor and reporter for KWTX, the local television station in Waco.
After graduation, Kelly landed a job as a Production Assistant in Nashville, where she produced a variety of country music videos. "Nashville was a marvelous springboard for my career. Budgets were limited, and I was able to master every aspect of film production, from fetching coffee to actually shooting, set design and lighting. I was even called upon to help cast and create ideas for the shoots themselves."
After two years, Frazier got the opportunity she had dreamed of - to work on a movie. She was soon back in Texas coordinating the entire shoot of a succession of popular films, including Desperado, Dead Man’s Walk and Streets of Laredo. Eventually, Kelly and her business partner successfully launched a casting company in Texas, and proceeded to cast almost every subsequent production in the state of Texas! A brief stint in the restaurant business proved to Kelly once and for all that she was cut out for the film industry. And she has never looked back.
In her distinguished career, Kelly has covered a lot of ground. Literally. Shooting all over the world, while working with the best in the business on commercials, music videos, television series and movies, she has emerged a polished, focused and dynamic force. From A to Z, Frazier has demonstrated an uncanny mastery of production.
This native Texan now calls Los Angeles home and can be found producing independent films. Her film The Zeros, recently won the Audience Award and runner up for the Jury Award at the South by Southwest Film Festival. She is currently writing a screenplay based on the true-life story of her father's landmark legal victory and is getting ready to start production on another independent film in the spring of 2006.
