Trudie Styler Instagram – This week for #femalefilmmakerfriday, I am highlighting writer and producer Melanie Marnich for her new limited series, #ApplesNeverFall! Melanie began her career as a playwright, writing and producing a multitude of plays before landing her role as a staff writer for HBO’s Big Love. Since, she has worked on Showtime’s The Big C, AMC’s Low Winter Sun, and The Affair, which she also helped produce. She also served as co-executive producer on the hit Netflix show The OA which she wrote two episodes for. Her latest project, Apples Never Fall, based on the book of the same name, follows the tennis-obsessed Delaney family, whose lives unravel after a troubled young woman named Savannah shows up at their door, and the family matriarch Joy later disappears. Congratulations on your new show Melanie- I can’t wait to give it a watch!
