Meghan MacGillivray Weil

Meghan grew up in Laguna Beach surrounded by the ocean and a film legacy. Daughter to Greg and Barbara MacGillivray, she was able to hone her filmmaking skills from an early age, interning at MFF during the summers and traveling with the film crew to worldwide locations. Realizing her passions lied deep-rooted in the family business, Meghan pursued a educational path to further her creative abilities and value as an MFF team member, receiving a BA in English and Literature from USCB and then a Masters in English from Chapman University. Since then, Meghan has settled into a myriad of full-time positions at MacGillivray Freeman, working as an assistant to her father, research specialist, outreach manager, and finally, social media manager and production manager. Though she’s worked extensively on numerous MFF projects, Meghan has served as Unit Production Manager on such acclaimed MacGillivray Freeman films as Humpback Whales, Journey to the South Pacific, National Parks Adventure, Dream Big, America’s Musical Journey, and most recently, Into America’s Wild. Meghan’s position requires her to manage all aspects of pre-production and then travel on location to ensure those logistics flow seamlessly. When she’s not working, Meghan enjoys spending time with her husband and two small sons, whom she hopes to give the same incredible experience she had growing up amidst giant-screen filmmaking.
