Amelia Spitler is a filmmaker. Her focus is producing and coordinating both independent and larger narrative projects that center on character-driven stories rife with internal conflict. Always driven by her curiosity, she strives to produce films by storytellers that share different backgrounds and life experiences than her.

Raised on the East Coast, Amelia received her BFA in Filmmaking from Montclair State University. Post-graduation, Amelia began her professional career at Big Beach Films, where her passion for producing ignited.
Following her craft, Amelia has since coordinated several feature and short films, including Emma Seligman’s Shiva Baby feature (John Cassavetes Award, Independent Spirit Awards 2022), Nicholas Ma’s Mabel, and Roger Mancusi & Katie Schiller’s Columbarium.

In 2020, Amelia’s first short as producer, Ex Disposer, was nominated for Best U.S. Student Film at the Palm Springs International ShortFest. The film’s lead, Jack DiFalco, won two awards – Best Performance, Walla Walla Movie Crush and Best Actor, Chilliwack Independent Film Festival – for his performance.

Currently, Amelia’s second short as producer, Nat Gee’s Buried, is in post-production. The film was made in collaboration with Zeus Pictures, Andre Basso, and Avion Films. Outside of producing, Amelia writes her own scripts focusing on her identity as a lesbian artist.

Outside of the independent world, Amelia was the Production Secretary for Dopesick (Fox 21/Disney/Hulu) and the D.C. unit of Rustin (Netflix). She currently is the Assistant to the Co-Executive Producer on season eleven of Chicago Fire (NBCU/Wolf Entertainment).

Amelia was born and raised in Richmond, VA. She happily resides with her girlfriend and dachshund in Chicago, IL.
