Megan here – I’m a freelance commercial and music video producer/line producer based out of Chicago. I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with studios and clients including Digital Kitchen, VICE Media, MTV, McDonald’s, Hollywood Records, McGarryBowen, WMA Studios, FOX, Nike, Adidas, United Airlines, and the Gates Foundation.
I have a fervor for film, so I also write and direct. My past short films have received buzz and accolades at various festivals.
In my free time you’ll find me in LA, eating In-N-Out and pretending like I know how to surf.
I love to talk – feel free to get in touch!
