Crusade" is Megan's first feature film. This and other
films have shown at the following festivals:

Doyen
"I am a media artist who works primarily in film, although I have worked in printmaking, photography and video. In all of these mediums I often look for an alternative way of presenting a familiar image. My film work is a hybrid of fiction and documentary – it's not really one or the other. Often I use "real" footage to tell a fictional story. I like the idea that a story can be both true and false at the same time." "I don't think
that true/false is a dichotomy; they often co-exist in a story, sometimes
even for the same person. In the film "Singsong," I used home
movies that I found to explore the vagaries of memory. I was interested
in the perception of memories over time and used a narration in which
stories change and contradict each other."
