About Amelie...
Amelie Brooks-Hochheimer is a writer/director/producer/community builder living in Brooklyn. A graduate of the Rita & Burton Goldberg Department of Dramatic Writing, Amelie has spent the past three years co-founding production company Fat Bitch Media with her bestie and general badass Pinky Mancuso, for which Amelie has thus far produced, written, and co-creative directed three photoshoots, an original zine, and full length play Gathering. In addition to her own ventures, Amelie has produced several other endeavors, including International Puerto Rican Heritage Fest/Out On Film Fest short film selection Heels (2023), and Iconic America: Our Symbols and Stories with David Rubenstein for PBS. She is currently producing two upcoming short films for besties Jay-Michael Wilson and Olivia Capestany. In her free time Amelie enjoys hanging out with her three legged cat, eating good, and running away to the ocean.
Writing
Amelie has been dreaming up new worlds since before she can remember, including an iconic stint in which she read the entire Hunger Games trilogy in one weekend and then wrote her own trilogy of novels that was unfortunately basically just the Hunger Games but with different characters.
Currently, she is working on revisions of her first produced play Gathering (Makers’ Space, 2024) and polishing up her second play mom play which will have a staged reading in early 2026. She is an enthusiastic attempter at blogging (read her Substack here) and a semi-shabby poet. She dreams one day of getting paid a living wage to write full time, but we’ll see.
Producing
Amelie is passionate about helping people turn their dreams into reality. If you have a seemingly-impossible idea, something really out there, or if you’re enthusiastic about expanding the scope of work that is given resources and funding, hit her up and she will get you together.
