About Trudy Bellinger
TRUDY BELLINGER is a Director, Producer, Writer and Creative Director whose unique spark, attention to detail and female outlook makes her a great filmmaker. Always evolving, Bellinger's hands-on artistic and directorial approaches have informed an imaginative body of work, combining evocative imagery and flattering colour palettes with imaginative storytelling and branding.

Her multi media, film and theatre background lead to a natural progression into Music Videos.

The music videos Bellinger directed herself enjoyed nominations and awards from MTV, The Brits and Virgin Media prompting an interest from advertising agencies and brands and she soon became one of the leading beauty/hair and celebrity commercials directors in UK with clients including: Rimmel with Kate Moss, M & S fashion with Twiggy, Sunsilk, Dove, Max Factor, Garnier, Olay, Barclaycard, to name but a few.

Her move to Los Angeles in 2013 resulted in her directing TV promos and winning Promax nominations and awards for shows such as ABC's Scandal with Kerry Washington, The Bachelorette, The Catch, Lifetime's The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe starring Kelli Garner and Susan Sarandon, Project Runway, Next Top Model and The Bachelorette.

Bellinger is featured in the 2018 award winning film "Seeing is Believing: Women Direct" about female directors. Having helped carve the path for female directors since her days as a commissioner when she discovered and championed some of our contemporary leading female directors, she personally continues the struggle to break down gender prejudices through her own work.

Determined to give an equal voice to women in television and features, she has created her own content with female protagonists and is currently in development on two television dramas ("#trending" and "Tease") and in post production on a short narrative film.

Bellinger resides in Los Angeles with her 16 year old son.
