The Farmer's Daughter

Melissa is the founder of The Sisters Bloom, an eco-conscious stop-motion animation studio in Kalispell, Montana. After working for several years in Hollywood, on projects such as Adult Swim’s Robot Chicken and David O’Russell’s American Hustle, Melissa stepped away and embarked on a holistic healing journey alongside her sister, learning firsthand that human health is directly related to our environment. She realized that it wasn’t the art form of stop-motion that was the problem, but the materials and methods that had become standard practice. Her mission is to reform the industry by replacing the toxic and wasteful practices with eco alternatives.
