Billy Samoa Saleebey’s Summary

Billy Samoa Saleebey is a graduate of the prestigious Loyola Marymount University Film School in Los Angeles, his work includes the short films Bathroom Boy, Brain Power, and Let Go, all of which received critical acclaim. Upon completion of school in 2000, Saleebey began working for Celestial Entertainment, the company responsible for the first ever Chinese/USA co-production, entitled Restless. His next step was into the world of documentary filmmaking, where he worked on historical documentaries to be aired on the History Channel. In late 2001, Saleebey gained global experience while working for London International Television as an Associate Producer where he was responsible for internationally broadcast programming that aired in forty countries to more than eighty million viewers. He was responsible for creating content and overseeing the production teams while at LITV.

Upon returning to the states, Saleebey began working at CBS Television in Hollywood on the award-winning daytime shows The Young & the Restless and The Bold & the Beautiful. From there he moved onto the KCET Lot where he worked for Gil Cates, producer of the Academy Awards. It was here that he worked on the feature film Collected Stories, the adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Donald Margulies. He followed this up by working on Calendar Girls, the British box-office hit directed by Nigel Cole. In 2002 he was given the opportunity to produce his first feature length film, Perfectly Still by Mark Linhart. Finally, by the fall of 2003 he relocated to New York where he began writing his first feature, Rolling, which was shot in 2005 and completed in 2006. Saleebey is currently in development on his next feature to be shot in 2009.
