Meghan Westelmajer: The Art of Production
Meghan has always had a passion and love for film. But she got into the industry in a less traditional way– It was an online job ad as an executive assistant that got Meghan into the industry. A few years later, and after lots of hard work, she was well into television production in Canada.

Now based out of Calgary, she’s used to spinning a lot of plates. She’s worked as a production coordinator on large projects like the FX series Fargo, that can be watched on Netflix.

She’s also worked on high-budget Hollywood films like Ghostbusters: Afterlife and the Disney+ film Togo.

In this episode:

We hear about Meghan’s start in the film industry, her experiences as an executive assistant, and some of the challenges of being a production coordinator. Next, we hear from Meghan about some of the highs and lows of her career, her experiences on set for productions like Fargo and Togo, and her relationship with Alberta. After that, we hear about how Meghan thinks the COVID-19 pandemic will impact her job and the industry. Finally, we hear Meghan’s three tips for starting out in the industry.
