Ms. Cleveland's wide range of creative work has been distributed by HBO, MTV, PBS, Fine Living Channel, CBC, BBC, Sundance Channel, Sony Pictures, and Women Make Movies and awarded honors.
She began her film career in the research rooms of documentary directors Alex Gibney and Robert Kenner. She received her MFA from USC's School of Cinema-Television in 2003. In addition to helping market blockbuster films at Sony Pictures Digital Entertainment, she helped design and build one of the first social networking sites that bridged the gap between consumers using their own media tools and infusing it with blockbuster film content.
She currently serves as Head of Cinema/Digital Media at Vanguard University and is now working on a new film initiative called "Where We Come From." The film examines the integration of James Meredith into the University of Mississippi and her own father who was a student at the time.
