Through the years, we have consulted, represented and/or collaborated with several writers, directors, producers, production companies, distributors and Industry executives. Below are some reviews and recommendations from those who have worked with us in some capacity.
From the moment Alexia joined our production team as a Producer, she stepped up and the project got immediate traction. Alexia brokered a major distribution deal for the film and her huge network of contacts has allowed her to pitch our project to actors and directors. Her charm and wit makes it easy to talk but her savvy of the current film industry is razor sharp and dead on. Alexia’s insight, suggestions and advice are always presented in a professional manner and we have gained movement in the project by acting on her input. Any project would benefit in many ways having Alexia Melocchi on board.
Wain Bradley, Producer, BRADLEY MEDIA LLC
Alexia has always been for me and my team the most open and positive person we have met in Hollywood over the last 15 years. For a foreign based producer like me, she is key professional on the West Coast , always well connected and efficient. In addition to her wide experience with writers and directors, she has a real taste for great scripts, based on her natural attraction for a solid sense of storytelling, leading her to package powerful scripts with strong international and domestic appeal. I can recommend Alexia to all professionals and wish them luck to have her as a business relationship.
Fabien Liron, French Producer, GAUMONT FILMS
As a screenwriter of over thirty years (“Moby Dick”, “Cleopatra”, “Stranded”) and out of the many agents and managers who have represented me over the years, Alexia Melocchi has well earned my admiration and respect as a loyal, hard- working and very honest rep and producing partner. Alexia doesn’t owe me- I owe her- my undying gratitude.
Anton Diether- WGA screenwriter
My experience with LITTLE STUDIO FILMS has simply been amazing. As an author, I’ve experienced my fair share of rejection slips and disappointing news. I’ve had my hopes built up at times, only to have the proverbial rug pulled out from under me. But this journey with the wonderful people at LITTLE STUDIO FILMS has been very different. I’m pretty sure the reasons have much to do with vision and passion. ALEXIA MELOCCHI and ALEXANDRA YACOVLEF are not afraid to dream big. In fact, this is what makes them tick. And that translates into passion, which quickly becomes contagious. This powerful enthusiasm has touched and motivated me. And I believe that one day soon it will go viral.”
DAVID R. STOKES, Best-Selling Author, Screenwriter, and Minister
After being accepted to The Recording Connection I was very excited to get my future started. They paired me up with Alexia Meloochi, my Screenwriting Mentor. Once they gave me her contact information it was time to get started. Alexia kept me on pace for my story line and its length never letting me stray. Every question I asked her was always given an honest and professional response. In ten short weeks, she was able to help me convert my amateur script into something that will be taken seriously in the film industry. It’s a blessing to have someone with the experience, the expertise and the patients that Alexia brings to the table to help me succeed. Having this one-on-one basis has been the key, there are no interruption’s in each week’s lesson because it’s been exclusive to me. I couldn’t be happier with the way things have worked. If you want a screenwriter to help you who actually cares about what she’s doing, Alexia Melocchi is the perfect fit. She delivers.
Scott Herald, Screenwriting Student, THE FILM CONNECTION
I highly recommend Alexia and Little Studio Films. As a Writer, I retained her to work with me on my TV series Central Booking. She brought in an excellent director and superb cast. The end result was a great Pilot that continues to draw rave reviews. I have recently retained her to work on a second project. Alexia and her business partner Alexandra are marvelous.
Marty Johnson, Producer
“Alexia Melocchi has represented me for a short time, but I’m already thoroughly impressed with her knowledge of the industry as well as the players involved. Her motivation and guidance inspires me. Her unique vision allows her to see opportunity and talent when other are blinded by the status quo. She has the courage and fortitude to take on new creativity when most are content with representing only noted artists. Alexia is passionate about her craft. She possesses a unique caring not only for those under her umbrella, but people in general. She wants people to succeed. Alexia has accomplished more for me in the last several months than I have in the past eight years. In an industry consumed with superficial extravagance, Alexia is a rare gem. It’s been an amazing journey thus far and I’m excited about cultivating our relationship. I’m eternally grateful for the opportunity to work with Alexia and Little Studio Films.”
Scott Leddy – Author
Alexia is a talent scout, she discovers amazing talents from all around the world and she transforms their dreams into reality. She’s a true professional, creative, smart, patient and a very sweet person! Alexia always pays close attention to details… I’m so lucky to met Alexia on my path and i really hope that our collaboration will continue for long time.
Matteo Tondini, Commercials and Film Director
I personally experienced how Alexia Melocchi is well introduced and accepted among the big filmmakers in Hollywood. She is also incredibly determined and she never gives up until she comes to a deal.
Valerio Massimo Manfredi, International Best Selling Author and Writer
“One of the most important days in my life was when Alexia told me she wanted to be my manager and that I was part of the Little Studio Films’ family.The hands on dedication, commitment, passion, knowledge and more that has been given to me and my work is beyond measuring. Words of thanks do not seem enough, but that is what I have.I thank you deeply and I hope my work yields some success to make us all proud.”
Elizabeth Sullivan, Published Author and Screenwriter
“Alexia Melocchi of Little Studio Films, saw the vision and viability of a long enduring project that had left me contemplating a compromise. Immediately she breathed new life and light into my “creative juices.” Alexia generated new insight and directional support from her years of gained knowledge and skill sets. New horizons now loom as we reach a level I never thought possible. Even her name itself reveals her true nature and abilities as “defender and helper.”
L.D. Brennan, Whirlwind 777 Productions
Alexia is a respected consummate professional who chooses her film product carefully; as she is well connected with the current and upcoming distribution trends. Likewise her no-nonsense attitude coupled with her frankness gives her an edge on the film set. Having known Alexia for many years, I’ve found her to be a focused individual who goes the extra mile, honest and a delight to work with.
Jordan Randell, Producer, Password Pictures
I have experienced professionalism and compassion when partnering with Alexia and Alexandra. Their advice and direction have helped me become a better writer and even a better person. I would not have the skill set I do now if it wasn’t for Alexia taking a chance on an unknown like me. I would not have an option and an IMDB credit if it wasn’t for them. I owe a lot to those ladies. Have they asked for anything in return? Only that I do the right thing when my career is concerned. And that’s exactly what a professional would ask of a writer. Top notch professionals with years in the business, Alexia and Alexandra are the go-to people for anything in the film industry. True to their word, they go above and beyond to satisfy clients and make lasting impressions with all who work with them.
Katherine VanPelt- Screenwriter
Alexia is amazing, generous, insightful, caring, and visual person. She clearly sees the whole picture – the business side and the technical side. She gave really wonderful writing suggestions to improve the script. I welcomed and received it all! It was a pleasure to brainstorm with her, see different points of view. She would point out areas that she enjoyed reading too.
What I love about Alexia is she sees the whole movie – beginning, middle, and ending. She knows what areas need to be deleted, tweaked, and fine-tuned; and she understands what moments to capture and elaborate thoroughly, to thread a deeper chord that resonates with the audience. She has a gift of encouragement and does it with radiant finesse!
Jennifer Gremillion- Screenwriter and published Author
I’ve known Alexandra since I served as International Editor at The Hollywood Reporter in the 90s. I could immediately see that she was detailed-oriented, highly driven in her work and fiercely fair in her outlook. And highly knowledgeable. I’d recommend her management, sales and executive skills highly at whatever company is fortunate enough to hire her.
James Ulmer- International Editor Hollywood Reporter
Let’s leave aside what a really nice person Alexandra is and what fun it is to have breakfast, lunch or dinner with her, or how she knows absolutely everyone. What matters about Alexandra is her great understanding of the motion picture business, her wealth of knowledge of so many different parts of it, and the terrific energy she brings to her work. I whole-heartedly recommend her.
Harvey Frost – Film and Television Director – BAFTA Member
“Alexia Melocchi has been my manager since 2009 and my experience with her in the ensuing time has been nothing short of amazing.

I feel extremely lucky to be part of the Little Studio Films family and highly recommend Alexia to take your writing career to the next level.”

Alexandra Yacovlef and Alexia Melocchi sold five of my movies in the worldwide distribution arena. They were aggressive sales people and marketed my films successfully around the world.

I look forward to working with them on my next movie.

Alexander Leontaritis- Greek Hollywood Reporter journalist and Filmmaker
“I have known Alexia for many years. It’s not that easy to produce a multi-million dollar film written by an unknown writer and it may never happen, but Alexia remains my inspiration and driving force. In her magnificent heart, brilliant mind, talented creativity and expert knowledge, she keeps pushing the envelope of my artistic abilities. Alexia is honest, direct, “right-on-target”. Someday after it gets the attention of a big Studio Executive or a famous Actor, Alexia will be my Producer.”
INGRID PFEIFFER Creative Writer, Sales and Financial Service Specialist
“Alexia has always been an important source of client information for me and the companies for which I have worked. Her understanding of international markets, buyers and the needs of buyers in the different territories has been very valuable.

I have worked with her off an on for many years and at many markets including Mip, Mipcom, Cannes and the AFM. Working with her is always a pleasure.”

Alexia is a trusted partner with many great connections, and more importantly, sound insight into the way the Hollywood system works.”
Eric Anderson, Author and Screenwriter
