Hi, I’m Denalee.
I started Eat More Chocolate Productions because I believe stories matter most when they feel honest– when they reflect the messiness of family, the complexity of relationships, the humor that survives hard moments, and the small connections that make people feel less alone.
I’m drawn to character-driven storytelling that is emotionally real, deeply human, and accessible across generations. Whether through long-form series or short-form digital content, my goal is to create entertainment that makes people laugh, feel seen, and walk away with a little more hope and understanding for one another.
At its core, EMC Productions is about creating meaningful stories with heart, humor, and authenticity.
Why Eat More Chocolate? Because nobody ever said “You know what this world needs less of? Chocolate and meaningful stories”
My Approach
What started as a passion project has grown into a production space shaped by story, instinct, and lived experience. I care less about polish for its own sake and more about whether something feels honest. Every project begins with character–who they are, what they want, and what gets in their way. From there, everything else follows. I don’t rush the process. I pay attention to what feels real, even in the smallest moments, and build stories that hold onto that feeling from start to finish.
What I Come Back To
Character first. If we don’t understand the people, nothing else matters. Honesty over polish. A moment that feels real will always matter more than one that just looks perfect. Details carry weight. Small choices in behavior, silence, and reaction are where the story lives.
What Stays With You
I create stories that feel lived-in, not manufactured. Because real people and real moments don’t disappear when the story ends.
