M. Rowan
Meyer
Screenwriter & Producer
I make tv, films, and podcasts.
Bio
Welcome to my brain…
… where heart meets humor. Peopled with characters who are deeply flawed, yet deeply likable. Stories that are socially relevant yet sexually irreverent. I want you to cry through my comedies and laugh through my dramas.
I’m also an expert at IKEA assembly, which lends itself well to the craft of writing. Putting together the pieces of a screenplay is much like putting together the pieces of a Kolbjorn cabinet in that hahahaha, I'm totally messing with you! They're not similar at all! Everyone knows a screenplay is way more similar to a Fjalkinge shelf.
