America Young is currently working in many aspects of film-making. A show she co-created has been licensed by POW! (Stan Lee’s production Company). She has directed 5 web series, 7 shorts and 2 music videos. America is so excited that all her years of production experience and geek obsessions culminated into directing her first feature, a pop-culture comedy called The Concessionaires Must Die!! which is now in post. (www.cmdthemovie.com) America is also in post on two other projects she directed. The first is a scripted comedy pilot, starring and about professional wrestlers called Wrestling with Parenthood. The second is a western she also co-wrote, 100 Levels of Just In Time which is Jumanji with Time Travel. She proud to be a director on Locked in (a thriller short that is part of Girls!Girls!Girls!) and even prouder to be an executive producer on the whole Girls!Girls!Girls project (which won Best Producer at La Femme Fest).
Currently in development, America has co-written several scripts with several people that she is very excited about. Public School is a multi-camera comedy TV show, [Selection] a sci-fi feature, based on a dream she had, that is attached to Cantina Creative and Madhouse Entertainment and Alpha 3 sci-fi adventure film with Henry Saine. She is also attached to direct two features, one a satirical, wild, action comedy called Smash Girl about a punk girl band with superpowers and a heart felt, brilliantly subtle drama, It’s Not Me.
Not to mention stunt coordinating for Katy Perry, Natasha Bedingfield, Chris Cornell and feature films. Plus doing stunts in many video games, movies and TV shows.
When America’s not kicking the crap out of Super-Heroes that support the Superhuman Registration Act, jumping off buildings or setting herself on fire, she enjoys telling action packed stories, sipping herbal tea and sharpening her pair of Sai.
