Megan reveals how she stays committed to her craft through the tough times and creates stories of people rising above their situation.
My guest Megan Green is an award-winning screenwriter based in Los Angeles. Megan's work has been recognized by the Austin Film Festival, Screencraft, Stowe Story Labs, Sundance Labs, and the Coverfly/Act Two mentorship program.
ONLY HUMANS, the indie drama feature she co-wrote, premiered at the Napa Valley Film Festival.
Her feature THE FAMILY HARVEST was later developed with Atlas Entertainment. Her feature biopic drama, ELEANOR & JACK, has ranked in the top 1% of projects on Coverfly and was a Nicholl Fellowship semifinalist twice.
Megan has both her MFA from UCLA and her MBA from UNC-Chapel Hill. She used her expertise at the nexus of screenwriting, tech, and business to write her incredible drama pilot, DANNI’S HARD DRIVE. I recently got to act in a Hollywood reading of this true story of the only woman to appear on the cover of The Wall Street Journal and Juggs Magazine, which won the Drama Division for CineStory’s TV Retreat and Fellowship and was selected for The Women’s List.
