Mel Eslyn
As president of Duplass Brothers Productions, Mel Eslyn has her finger in a number of creative pies. (She\u2019s an executive producer of the underappreciated HBO series Somebody, Somewhere). The new theatrical release Biosphere bears her stamp as co-writer and director; she even got to direct her \u201cboss,\u201d Mark Duplass, who costars in this provocative comedy with Sterling K. Brown. Leonard and Jessie admire the way Mel and her colleagues work: offering opportunities and a helping hand to deserving beginners.
