Testimonials
“It was my first experience on set for a bold scene featuring in Mastram, and I can’t honestly put into words how much it really meant to have received the support and encouragement from Megan. Not once did I feel uncomfortable or was not confident about it, she made the environment so positive and perfect for the scene.”
Isha Chabra, Performer: Mastram (Indian Webseries)
Megan is an attentive, open-minded and knowledgeable presence both on set, and in rehearsal. As soon as we began working, I could tell that my scene partner and I had someone on our side that we could trust and communicate with freely.
Adam Kozlick, Performer: Zero (Short Film)
“I recently worked with Megan and Phay on the film Golden Delicious. We had scenes of partial nudity, kissing, and physical action between characters. Right from the first day of rehearsals I felt part of a safe and professional environment that Phay & Megan had created for us. We talked and collaborated on every beat of the scene, helping us feel and understand every moment, and were constantly checking in with how we felt personally outside of the character. Our film could not have been made without them.
