Graham Kelley was born in 1990 in Northridge, California, and was raised in Newhall, California. He came across his father's old video camera when he was 10 years old, which lead to him filming stop motion short films. His films slowly developed over the years as he made short films with friends. In 2006 he directed a short film, which won him his first award for best horror film in the AOL Red film festival. He has since worked for Oscar winner John Gaeta, and LA Film Festival winner Jesse Negron on multiple films and commercials.
