With Sundance films Me and You and Everyone We Know (Miranda July, John Hawkes) and Steal Me (Hunter Parrish, Paz del la Huerte), Meg stepped out into a solo casting career.

Most notably Hello, My Name is Doris, Waitress, Hunter Gatherer, I Believe in Unicorns, Life Partners, and Mississippi Damned. Festival favorites turned theatrical releases include The Ballad of Lefty Brown (Bill Pullman, Jim Caviezel, Peter Fonda) and Unlovable (John Hawkes, Melissa Leo) and I’ll Meet You There (Faran Tahir, Sheetal Sheth and Qavi Kahn)
On the series side, MBC cast projects for major studios, the Emmy nominated Relationship Status and other upcoming series.
Meg and Sunny have recently added narrative podcasts to their resume with several series including Blackout (Rami Malek), Echo Park (Harry Shum Jr), Last Known Position (Gina Rodriguez) and the soon to be released The Mantawauk Caves (Jonathan Tucker)
