“There’s nothing wrong with dreaming big. If I can make it happen, anyone can.”
—Melissa Wylie, Line Producer

All Set “For The Long Road Home, a miniseries that looks at what it’s really like to go to war, I built Baghdad in Killeen, Texas. The set was roughly 12 acres, and I’m very proud of it. It also fulfilled my dream of producing a project in my home state!”
Believe It “My father said, ‘You can accomplish anything you put your mind to.’ So I never had a plan B. It never crossed my mind that it wasn’t going to happen.”
Insider Info “Try the oysters at Drago’s in New Orleans, and visit the Gristmill in Gruene, Texas—one day I hope to shoot there.”
