Frank Vella

Frank Vella is a Los Angeles based Director, Writer, and Producer who enjoys telling bold stories grounded in truth.  Drawn to the power of cinema from a young age, Frank immersed himself with as many worlds and characters as he could.  That strong passion and resolve brought him to Columbia College Chicago, and eventually Los Angeles where he has worked with such brands as Nickelodeon, HBO, YouTube, KeyTV, and many more.  Since the launch of Frank & Friends Productions in 2015, Frank has pushed the brand forward with ferocious hard work and a commitment to creativity and quality. What began as backyard filmmaking with friends has evolved into directing award-winning short and feature films.
