Meet Alice Haywood
Writer / Director / Producer
Adelle is an Atlanta-based actress, writer, and performer. "Storytelling" and "Play" have always been at the heart of whatever creative endeavor she embarks on. Thus, in the midst of a film industry that has gravely slowed down, she created Gilded Ember Entertainment to fill the gap. After all, life is but once and it'd be a shame to miss the dance.
Christmas Spirits is a labor of love and the fruit of stubborn, relentless seeds. But Adelle would be remiss to not acknowledge all those who made it happen, including you, our guests.
Thank you for keeping the dream alive...and full of spirit.
