About Meridith M.

I am an award-winning director/producer with a track record of professionalism, organization, "happy" sets, and always (always!) timeliness and solid communication. At the end of a shoot, clients have confidence in the process knowing the final product will meet and exceed expectations. In an interview setting, our feedback is often that the crew was so 'nice and professional'. It sounds so simple, but being likable means that a subject feels more comfortable opening up, expressing themselves, and speaking from the heart. And the crew is organized, well-informed, and well-versed in the expectations. That translates to content that is natural, polished, and professional. In my book, that's a home run. I am also an Emmy-nominated copywriter with a skill for listening to and identifying the goal, and creating copy that not only fits the project but succinctly and successfully tells the story or nails the desired result. I am available as a producer or copywriter but can also come with a full crew and equipment when/if needed.
