ケリー・サウダーズ

Producer and writer Kelly Souders is best known for her work on the Superman prequel series "Smallville." Souder's career began in 2001 when she wrote the screenplay for "Stuck," a short film, directed by Jamie Babbit, about two aging lesbians involved in a nasty fight. That short, which starred Jennie Ventriss and Jeanette Miller, led Souders to join the writer's room for the series "Smallville," which cast Tom Welling as a young Clark Kent and budding Man of Steel, involved with girlfriend Lana Lang, played by Kristin Kreuk, and tussling with future super-villain Lex Luther, played by Michael Rosenbaum. Souders has been a writer for over 30 episodes of "Smallville" -- making her one of the most consistent members of the show's creative team. From 2004 to 2005, Souders was a producer on "Smallville," and then a supervising producer from 2005 to 2006, and became a show runner for the series starting in 2008.
