AUDIO TITLE:  Episode #33 – Christin Mell – Tello Films
Jenn T Grace:
You are listening to the Gay Business and Marketing Made Easy Podcast, Episode 33.
Intro:
Welcome to the Gay Business and Marketing Made Easy Podcast where you'll learn how to do business with and market to the LGBT community in an authentic and transparent way. We're talking about the $790 billion lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender community. We'll help you grow your business, gain market share and impact your bottom line. And now your host - she's an entrepreneur, a marketing maven and an advocate for the LGBT business community. Jenn, with two N's, T. Grace.
Jenn T Grace:
Well hello, thank you for tuning into Episode 33 of the podcast. Today's intro is going to be very, very brief because actually I had intentions of talking to you today about LGBT Chambers of Commerce and how they can help your business and their purpose, and all that kind of great stuff. But unfortunately my house has come down with a stomach bug and it's hit every single person in the house, currently I am in the clear, however my wife and two children are home sick today and I have very little time to actually put together a fully thought out episode for you about LGBT Chambers of Commerce.

So what I'm doing instead is what was supposed to be episode number 34, which is a story telling with Christin Mell. She is the cofounder of Tello Films, which basically produces and distributes innovative, high quality web series content with a lesbian focus. So we really talk about a lot as it relates to the film making business, what she's doing in terms of helping promote creativity in the LGBT community, how to market to lesbians specifically; so there's a lot of great stuff that we talked about in today's interview. And instead of Christin's interview being 34, what I'll end up doing is I will talk to you in the next episode about LGBT Chambers of Commerce.

So without further ado, let's just dive into today's interview and if you have any questions, comments or want to chat about what you heard today, please feel free to reach out to me either on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, send me an email, whatever it is. Just reach out, I always love to hear from you. Thanks so much and I will talk to you soon.

So why don't you take a moment, or several moments, and tell the listeners a little bit more about yourself and your story, and basically what your path looked like that led you to be doing what you are doing today.

Christin Mell:
Sure so you know, I think my love of storytelling started really young. I was an absolute move and like TV junkie. And then I was really lucky because when I was growing up is when VHS cameras just came out, and my family was lucky enough to get one and was nice enough to allow my sister and I to play around with it. So we would- you know in addition to playing games in the neighborhood, we would actually have neighborhood kids over and we would take video or time- it was during the great Saturday Night Live with Dana Carvey and those guys. And so we would then also do like our own sort of night live phase. And I- at some point,
