🫀

Meet Megan Ketch, the talent playing Victoria in Waves!!! Megan Ketch brings decades of acting experience from stage to screen, with notable performances in theater, television, and film. After completing her masters at NYU Graduate Acting, she was cast as the lead in the ABC pilot, GOTHAM, directed by Francis Lawrence and made her feature debut in the comedy, THE BIG WEDDING. Other film credits include THE INCREDIBLE JESSICA JAMES and Joachim Trier’s LOUDER THAN BOMBS. She has played recurring roles on THE AFFAIR (Showtime), RECKLESS (CBS), BLUE BLOODS (CBS),THE GOOD WIFE (CBS), and UNDER THE DOME (CBS) and appeared on the CBS breakout drama, EVIL, and Netflix’s GLOW and SIRENS. “I was drawn to this project because of the chance to reconnect with an old friend (Mike Cap!) and within my character, a chance to explore the transformational nature of grief and the profundity of parenting both a living and a deceased child.” - Ketch “I’ve known Megan since ninth grade, when we performed in a play together— I was an understudy, she was a lead. Her talent was undeniable then, just as it is now. But what’s also stayed constant through the years is her genuine kindness, care for others, and generosity of her spirit. Having her join this film is a dream come true.” - Michael Cappelletti, writer & producer of WAVES #film #shortfilm #indiefilm #filmtalent #meetthecast #filmactor #wavesshortfilm

IT’S YOUR FAULT SHORT FILM is three weeks away from shooting! Please donate to our film! We’re so close to meeting our goal. Link is in our bio!

Studio presents It’s Your Fault short film. Now in its sixth year, @meganketch ’s Studio has served over 200 professional actors in the greater Los Angeles area in more than forty scene studies, intensives, artist retreats and two staged productions. Studio’s mission is to foster an artistic community that puts the actor at the center of their creative process.  In November of 2023, Studio actors signed up for a scene study based on the Western genre. The richness of that workshop combined with Studio’s affiliation with V6 Ranch (20,000 acres of working cattle ranch outside Paso Robles) inspired the idea for a short film. Six distinctive writers contributed a scene to our short film entitled It’s Your Fault that will feature thirteen Studio actors. While many of the actors in Studio primarily work in film and TV, the workshops Studio offers center on plays and acting for the stage.  By teaching an on-camera acting workshop in early December 2024, Ketch opened the door to exploring the medium of film in Studio.   It’s Your Fault is Ketch’s film directorial debut. John and Barbara Varian, who built Parkfield Lodge and Café at the V6 Ranch have opened their doors to Studio since 2020 for yearly artist retreats. In late June and early July, they will host us for a four day film shoot. With great talent and a wildly cinematic location to film, It’s Your Fault is a pastiche, stitched together by subject, image, character and theme. From the playwrights we studied in the Western genre workshop (Sarah Ruhl, Tracy Letts, Keith Reddin and Sam Sheperd), a central tension emerged: mutuality and division. We are interdependent and we are divided. If human insistence keeps prevailing over human subsistence, we will lose everything. Parkfield, where we will film, resides on the San Andreas fault. There is potent, frictional energy in every corner. 🔗link in Megan’s bio. We are so grateful for your support! #shortfilm

To have a group of people you trust and can create with freely is a gift anywhere, especially in LA. That group of people for me is Studio. I was lucky enough to find this group 5 years ago through @jeremyokeefe . We have been through 2 productions, countless workshops, intensives, and now we are making a film! If you can’t donate, please share and help us make this dream a reality! I can’t wait for you to see the brilliance that is, @meganketch and my family, Studio 🖤🖤🖤 It’s a Western short called It’s Your Fault. A handful of strangers try and wrest the lives they want, from the lives they have. We are filming at the beautiful V6 Ranch in Parkfield Ranch, CA — 20,000 acres of land along the San Andreas Fault Line. Very excited for this next endeavor! ☀️🤠 The ranch was Lola’s home away from home ♥️ Link is in my bio 🫶🏻👏🏻 Yee Haw!

STUDIO presents ‘It’s Your Fault’ Short Film Founded in the fall of 2019, Studio has served over 200 professional actors in the greater Los Angeles area in more than forty scene studies, artist retreats and two staged productions. Studio’s mission is to build community around artistic process and is a place actors can recover their curiosity, risk-taking, and generosity. In November 2023, Studio actors signed up for a scene study based on the Western genre inspiring an idea for a short film. Six distinctive writers contributed a scene to our film that will feature thirteen Studio actors and is my film directorial debut. John and Barbara Varian, who built Parkfield Lodge and Café at the V6 Ranch have opened their doors to Studio since 2020 for yearly artist retreats. In late June and early July, they will host us for a four day film shoot. From the playwrights we studied (Sarah Ruhl, Tracy Letts, Keith Reddin and Sam Sheperd), a theme emerged: our mutuality and division. We are interdependent and we are gravely divided. Parkfield, resides on the San Andreas fault and a potent energy permeates it. In January, Southern California erupted in devastating wildfires. In Los Angeles, the toll has only begun unfurling. The unimaginable became reality and reality became unimaginable. Art puts us in conversation with tragedy and hopefully with our continuance. Bringing a community of artists together in nature to tell a quilted, compassion-provoking Western is part of my resistance to delusion, authoritarianism and fear and is a way of following beauty forward into an evolving story. If you are an artist who has come through Studio please comment here on what it has meant or means to you. And share this post with your people.
