My Filmmaking

All the acting books, articles and coaches have all told me the same thing: "Create your own work". And when I finally decided to give it a try, I saw why they all said that. I now understand the industry better. I have gained so much respect for each person that contributes to the creation of a film. I can see a scene from the writers point of view. But most importantly, I am creating the opportunities for myself.

 

I first began with writing scripts. I began writing because many of the stories that I wanted to see simply weren't out there. So, I decided to write them myself. I currently attend a weekly writing workshop at my acting studio where other students and I exchange scripts and feedback.

​

I then decided that I wanted to bring my stories from the page to the screen. My father, Dave Meichsner, works with me on my films. He has a degree in film, and has worked in the industry in the past. With the help of friends I have met through film and theater, we are currently in post-production for two original short films. We are also in pre-production for our third short film!
