Shameless Plug: This Is Meg

This is definitely a shameless plug for our friends’ project.

Our good friend Jill-Michele Meleán (MADtv, RENO:911!), has a new movie coming out soon. “This Is Meg” which is based on Jilly’s life story is directed by Alex Ferrari and also crowd-funded through Indie Film Hustle.

The film also features another good friend of ours, Carlos Alazraqui (Rocko’s Modern Life, RENO: 911!).

“This Is Meg” is currently in post-productions.

On Saturday, October 22, 2016 the cast of “This Is Meg” held a fundraising show at The Ice House Comedy Club in Pasadena, CA. The show was arranged by Carlos Alazraqui himself; dubbed as “Carlos and The Angels”. The show featured Jilly, Carlos, Lahna Turner, Shawn Pelofsky and Joseph Reitman. A sold-out show where the proceeds from the show goes to the post-productions fund. Reitman opened the show and acted as the MC; a great one. Pelofsky was “stretching it” to the roaring laughters. Turner, who was a late addition to the show, had the audience sing along to her song. Jilly introduced Alex Ferrari in the middle of her set while keeping the audiene laughing. Carlos closed the show talking about his ne role as a father of two young daughters. The audience certainly had a great time as it was a great show.
