Chelese Belmont graduated with honors in three years from UC Berkeley with a B.A. in History and then attended the MFA program in Acting at the Actors Studio Drama School in New York City. She and Shannan Leigh Reeve started Beleeve Entertainment in 2012. Their first film was a collaboration with Cabrian Film Studios, THE RED HAIRED LADY, a short that Chelese wrote, co-produced, and directed and which played festivals in the US and Europe. Beleeve’s next production was PENUMBRA, played film festivals and was released on digital platforms. A short that Chelese produced, THE INVISIBLE BORDER, won third place (out of 650 submissions from 55 countries) in NASA’s CineSpace Competition; Beleeve was the only female and American team to place. Recent short films that she wrote and produced, SPEED DATE, CHROMO46 and THE OBITUARIST, played festivals before being released on digital platforms, as did the LGBTQ+ short that she produced and directed, HOLIDAY HELP DESK.
Chelese has also written the feature scripts, FALSE TARGETS, ALL THE LITTLE PIECES, and THE SUN RISES ON ANOTHER DAY, which have placed in numerous competitions. She is currently working on developing the first twelve episodes of a new digital series, SOMEWHERE, SOMETIME.
