Kelly Neutz has been instrumental in the launching and development of Namesake Entertainment from its inception in 1996. She has served a variety of key roles while helping to grow the company. However, her greatest passion is with the creative development of projects pursued and acquired by Namesake.

As Vice President of Development, Kelly is responsible for the oversight and development on all projects in which Namesake is involved. She seeks out new projects, working closely with producers, agents, authors and screenwriters. She enjoys working with each project from its inception to its principal photography. And, as a Co-Producer on Namesake’s films, Kelly works to strengthen each movie’s story, theme, characters and message in both production and post-production.

Kelly, who earned a Masters in Education, spent several years working with high school students within the public school system. Her experience in leadership roles with Christian organizations such as Southeast Christian Church, Focus on the Family affiliates, and Family Foundation have helped to make her knowledge of the Christian Market vital to Namesake.
