Canae Machelle

Born and raised in Little Rock, AR I am a proud graduate of Dillard University’s Theatre program and the first Denzel Washington scholar. I graduated from the University of Central Arkansas with my MFA in Filmmaking in 2020. I am an actor, writer, director, and producer but I also have experience as an acting teacher for youth, arts administrator for various nonprofit organizations, a theatrical lighting designer, and technical director.
I recently moved to Tacoma, WA in order to pursue more opportunities to produce indie films and hopefully make it into a writer's room or tw. My ultimate goal is to create original television and film projects for streaming networks or to develop my own. I focus on faith-based content, but want to prioritize good story that is entertaining, inspiring, and beautiful.

My husband and I also have several podcasts that we produce, one in particular about anime called Gray Area Anime. I've recently performed as Lady In Red in a production of For Colored Girls Who've Considered Suicide/when the rainbow is enuf at a local community Theatre and have several other plays I'm hoping to be in soon.
