• Megan Falley is a spoken word poet, author, and teaching artist. She is the author of four books of poetry; her most recent collection, “Drive Here and Devastate Me” was heralded by Autostraddle as “a love letter to the queer community.” Her chapbook, “Bad Girls, Honey: Poems About Lana Del Rey" was the winner of the Tired Hearts Chapbook Prize. Falley is a National Poetry Slam and Women of the World Poetry Slam finalist. 
• Director Ryan White and producer Jessica Hargrave created Into the Fire, which chronicles the tortuous journey of a mother searching for her missing biological daughter.

Previously they worked on Netflix’s Emmy-nominated Pamela, A Love Story, an intimate portrait following the trajectory of Pamela Anderson’s life and career.
