Catherine Russell · April 19th, 2011, 10:34 AM

Hi everyone:

I have the immense pleasure to introduce you to our judge for UWOL 20:

Meet MerryLee Herrmann of ML Productions:

M.L. Herrmann Productions - MaryLee Herrmann, Producer/Director 720.987.5956

MerryLee is the kind of person who inspires and impacts your life in every positive way. She is a gifted film maker who has and is making her mark in the film world. Her sense of self and well being can't help but rub off on those around her and tends to motivate us to reach our own potential. Her encouragement is wonderfully contagious! To give additional insight as to the type of person she is, she is thrilled to be our judge this round and is excited to meet all of you, even though she is currently on tour with her own award-winning work at film festivals around the U.S.

Please give a very warm welcome to MerryLee.

I'll sign off with MerryLee's professional bio.

Cat
