Megan’s second feature, The Off Hours, premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and stars Amy Seimetz (Tiny Furniture), Ross Partridge (Baghead) and Scoot McNairy (Monsters).

Megan has produced such projects as 2011 Sundance absurdist buddy comedy, The Catechism Cataclysm, and 2006 Slamdance Special Jury prize-winner, The Guatemalan Handshake. She was a co-producer on the upcoming Lynn Shelton comedy, Your Sister’s Sister, starring Emily Blunt, Rosemarie Dewitt and Mark Duplass, and on the acclaimed 2007 Sundance documentary, Zoo.
Megan received her MFA in Film Production from the Ohio University School of Film. While in school Megan wrote and directed three award-winning student films including not Waving but Drowning, a 2001 Student Academy Award nominee.
