She began figure skating lessons as a toddler and later competing nationally and internationally, representing the United States, as a singles skater. She taught figure skating classes while competing as a competitive skater during her 20-year career.[8]
She developed an interest in film and television making while attending college in Southern California at the University of California, Los Angeles. She graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles's screenwriting program in 2022.[9] While attending college, she majored in History and took courses in production and co-founded UCLA's Intercollegiate Figure Skating Team.[10][11]
Film career
Bullock has appeared on NBC, ABC, Tru TV, and Netflix. Her former production company, Maddness Pictures, produced a film titled ICE: the Movie[12] which was written by and starring Maddison. This film draws from her experience in professional Figure Skating and emphasizes good sportsmanship, family values, and artistic excellence. The film co-stars Lisa Mihelich.[13] both Maddison and Lisa performed their own figure skating stunts for the film.[14]
She auditioned for the role of Nancy Kerrigan in the 2017 Oscar-winning comedy/drama film, I, Tonya, but did not get the part. During her senior year at UCLA, she decided to write a screenplay based on her experiences as a former professional figure skater. The film she later wrote, ICE: The Movie, was filmed on location in Nebraska and Colorado, two locations where Bullock had trained as a skater during her childhood. An ice rink in Grand County, Colorado served as one of the filming locations for ICE: the Movie in December 2016; local actors and businesses were invited to participate in the film's production.[8][15] In order to make the film more accurate and believable, Bullock cast professional figure skaters and hockey players to play characters.[16]
