Amanda Morones is a born and raised a Texas gal who in 2013, a week after graduating from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Radio-Television-Film decided to pack up her beat up 2001 Mitsubishi Galant GTZ and drive halfway across the US to The City of Angels, where she’s been quite expertly navigating the hellscape that is the entertainment business ever since.
Currently she is the award-winning Executive Producer, and VP of Creative Development of Beautiful Bastard. Before that, she spent over five years conceptualizing and building Rogue Rocket, a production company founded by YouTube royalty and digital media entrepreneur Philip DeFranco. Before landing a job with DeFranco in 2013, Amanda worked for Conan O’Brien’s Team Coco and freelanced for Nickelodeon, YouTube, Artists Den, Live Nation, SXSW, Fantastic Fest, Alamo Drafthouse and much more.
Amanda is a self proclaimed chaotic mess of a human being that values honesty, passion, and creativity above all else. Follow her as she takes on live as an extremely outspoken plus sized, brown woman living in modern day Los Angeles, CA.
