To whom it may concern, This is a letter of highest recommendation for Melanie Sleep, Make Up Artist extraordinaire. My name is Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, I am a two time Canadian Screen Award Winner and currently the lead actor on the hit comedy “Kim’s Convenience”. My career in film and television spans close to twenty five years and I have collaborated with many artists during that time. I had the immense pleasure of working with Melanie in 2018 as she was the Key Make Up Artist for the CBC Television Series I was host of: Canada’s Smartest Person Junior. Melanie was meticulous in her preparation and research and besides her obvious skills and talents as a Make Up Artist, she often went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and relaxed. What I loved about working with Melanie was that I trusted her implicitly. I knew she had my best interests in mind and she always made me look great - something of utmost importance to those of us working in front of the cameras. This trust lead to greater selfconfidence and in my opinion, a stronger performance on my part. On top of all of this, Melanie is a fantastic person with a very kind heart. She was a leader in the HMU department and created an atmosphere of professionalism, trust, and camaraderie. It was a fun and relaxed room where everyone took pride in what they did and it was a joy to work with her. Melanie’s reputation in this industry is far reaching and well known. She would be an incredible asset to any production smart enough to hire her. She is quite simply one of the finest Make Up Artists in Canada. Kindest regards, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee

To Whom It May Concern, This letter is to serve as a formal professional recommendation for Melanie Sleep. I have had the great pleasure of working with Melanie, as a Key Hair and Makeup artist over the last 2 seasons of a Living History series called Back inTime for Dinner, produced for the CBC. This particular series was demanding on our Art teams as the premise has 5 key characters transforming through multiple decades. It was critical that we worked with department heads that had an exceptional competence when it came to research and execution of period accuracy, of which Melanie was no exception. As our department head she was responsible for leading her team in transforming our characters on a daily basis. She researched, designed, developed and implemented 30 plus hair and makeup looks for each of our cast over the course of each series. Melanie worked closely with our Wardrobe department and our Art department to ensure consistency and accuracy in each of the looks. Because of her excellent work on our first season of Back in Time, Melanie was nominated for a 2019 Canadian Screen Award for Best Achievement in Make-up. Melanie’s professionalism is one of her best attributes. She is a self-starter, incredibly organized and a trustworthy crew member to be on the front lines with our cast. She amassed and lead a very talented team with grace and her demeanour on set was delightful and supportive. I would highly recommend Melanie Sleep as a Key Makeup and Hair artist for any production and I certainly hope to work with her again. If you have any question regarding Melanie or this recommendation, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Kind Regards, Andrika Lawren Executive Producer 3Bird Media

To Whom It May Concern:

I am a television and film director with over forty years of experience in the business, from live entertainment shows such as “The Juno Awards” and most recently “Battle of the Blades,” to feature length documentaries such as “Gordon Lightfoot: If You Could Read My Mind,” which is currently playing in theatres across the country.

I have worked with Melanie Sleep on countless projects over the years (including those mentioned above) and have found her to be exemplary in all aspects of her work. On top of being an excellent makeup artist, she brings such warmth of personality to the job that those who have had the pleasure of working with her ask for her by name. Mel is also excellent at organization, and works superbly well with other makeup artists and members of the production staff and crew.

I would not hesitate to recommend her very highly for your project.

Sincerely,

Joan Tosoni

Producer/Director
