This Is Meg

This film tackles celebrity culture in a refreshing and fun anyway. This indie film has heart. I like it how it was told from a comics perspective you were able to see even more how crazy new media entertainment and fame really is. This movie took some chances and I think it paid off big time. I enjoyed it.

This movie is for anyone who's felt the pain of choosing to do something difficult and dealing with yourself in the process. It's a funny satire about Los Angeles and the things we go through to achieve our dreams and find ourselves. Felt like a Duplass Brothers film (in a good way). The film leads up to an event that I won't spoil, but it's REALLY funny, and had some great acting- especially Carlos Alazraqui and Debra Wilson. Enjoy!

Was listening to the Indie Film Hustle podcast and learned about this film. Not a surprise that the guy behind Indie Film Hustle would come up with such a brilliantly designed production. Hilarious, free flowing comedy. Smart concept, well executed. Great commentary of the influence of social media on those seeking a role in the public eye.

The lead actress is adorable and I could so relate to her. She wants to succeed, but it's so hard to adapt in this fast pacing world, specifically if you didn't grow up with social media. Funny, loveable, a cute indie comedy worth checking out!

"This Is Meg" marries a fantastic premise with truly knockout execution in a film about a working comedienne/actress and her rough adjustment to today's fame engine now being almost entirely driven by the bewildering forces of social media.

Jill-Michele Melean is our Meg in question, and the casting folks truly nailed it here, as Melean's elite work is as hilarious as it is refreshingly authentic. Taking initial stock of both her professional and personal life, none of the right boxes are checked for Meg, and therein rests the film's transcendent application to a mass audience: Melean deftly elevates Meg into a nuanced symbol of our nearly universal plight to find some internalized comfort in the everyday present.

In the end, "This Is Meg" manages to succeed both as a literal laugh-out-loud comedy, and as a comforting reflection of our struggles to shrug off the weight of our previous expectations while embracing instead what the given moment has to offer. "Keep running!"
