This Is Meg

"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!"

A fun indie film about personal perceptions of yourself, of what others thinks of us. Actresses and actors and anyone pursuing a career in the spotlight will relate to this film, which apparently is based on true events. This is about Meg who is at the age of 20s/30s, are at the height of pursuing her dreams, figuring out her path and place in the world, and social media's place in her world. What's a girl to do?

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.

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.

Poor Meg is learning the hard way that you must adapt or die! It's not easy navigating the world of Hollywood movie life. Meg is living in the past and being hit head on with changing her promotional self to current standards, which do not sit well with her. With an excellent script and outstanding actor performances, This Is Meg is a mega delightful and funny film that is sure to tickle even the most dead funny bone. It did mine and I suggest you give it a watch. Great production values as well to boot! Great job Alex Ferrari and team!
