By her teen years in Seattle, Kelsy Chauvin was on the brink of obsession with pictures like Saturday Night Fever, Paper Moon, Desperately Seeking Susan, and When Harry Met Sally…, which each depicted plain old life in utterly watchable portraits. They grabbed her and influenced her, and are now inherent in her creative endeavors.
Kelsy now lives in New York and, in addition to being a freelance journalist, travel writer, editor and photographer, she makes her own pictures. She has authored three feature screenplays and five shorts, and made her directing/producing debut in 2003 with a four-minute short called Can’t You Re-Tie It -- shot in Coney Island with the help of a talented and compact cast and crew. The film examines an intimate moment through two parallel universes, and screened at film festivals in New York, Toronto and Austin.
Bridal Party, also shot in Brooklyn, explores the notion of love and companionship in the sour face of cynicism. It also exhibits Kelsy’s devotion to dialogue and trust in the art of acting. Her next short, Yes & No, is now in post-production.
For the stage, Kelsy has collaborated on the stage play Queens Girl, a biting look at a young woman’s journey to find her own path, even as her hometown clan keeps covering, blocking and diverting the roadway.
Kelsy is always absorbed by the local crowd, the ones who’ve been around, the people who are often overlooked. She equally loves both the sensitive types and the ones with hard edges, and of course their conflicts. Above all, she tries to unveil nuances within the ordinary.
