Neil Meffan
Filmmaker

Hi, I'm Neil. A filmmaker based in Glasgow, Scotland. My work to date has been mostly independent drama and corporate film and before that Marketing. Currently working towards taking things to the "next level" as they say as well as expanding my general skill base. I write, produce, direct and edit!

Elisabeth Meier

Wow, you do it all. The edit costs the most time and can really kill nerves, but you have it all in your hands and will know what you talk about. So, welcome on Stage32. Use it, it can open doors and really help. Good luck for you!

Shelley Aldred

Hi Neil! Good luck!

Neil Meffan
