I’m Morgan Dameron. I'm a writer, director, and producer. My first feature film comes out today and I'd love to talk to you about it! AMA.

Hi Reddit!

I’m Morgan Dameron. I’m a writer, director, producer, and frequent exclamation point user! My first feature film, Different Flowers, which I wrote, directed, and produced, is available on all digital platforms today! It’s a road trip comedy about sisters. I’m really proud of it, and I hope you’ll check it out. Or rent it and get distracted doing something else, then have to rent it again just to finish it. I am embarrassed by how many times this has happened to me.

To make this movie we raised over $70,000 on Kickstarter, got Shelley Long on board, and filmed in Kansas City (my hometown). Then, we went on a whirlwind film festival tour, won “Best Heartland Feature Film,” and - by choice! - are self-distributing. We did a theatrical release with AMC Independent in September, and come out on digital platforms today.

I’ve directed web series, short films, went to USC film school, interned for the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, and worked at Bad Robot as assistant to J.J. Abrams on Star Trek Into Darkness and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Here’s a season of a web series I directed called The Fat One: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz_mmGTwam8

Here’s an article in a fancy British magazine about Poe Dameron being my namesake: http://ift.tt/2hav1nB

Oh, I also direct food commercials and cooking shows! Here’s one of those: http://ift.tt/2zcwyQR
