Meet the Director

Danielle Melissovas Thompson

Writer/Director

Pomp and Circumstances is Danielle's third original film, and she would like to thank the talented cast, editor, and production consultants for making her dream a reality. Currently finishing her BA in English at Columbus State University, she is preparing to begin a Masters in Film Aesthetics this fall at Oxford University. CSU and all the lovely people there have given Danielle many opportunities to learn her craft, and she would like to say thank you to all her teachers - those in the classroom, as well as those outside of it. Her goal is to write, direct, and produce Christian films and use media to impact audiences for Christ.
