MEGAN & JOSH MAYES
DIRECTORS I PRODUCERS I SCREENWRITERS
Megan and Josh Mayes grew up in the suburbs of Detroit, where one of the highlights of their childhood was rallying the neighborhood kids into making movies with them on VHS tape. Finding themselves in New York years later, they decided that this childhood partnership was the dream they had for their adult lives. In their early 20's, they founded Plastic Tree Pictures, directing, writing, producing and acting in their first feature film, “Rooftops.” In the years since, they have honed their skills as filmmakers in multiple disciplines, producing an array of short films that have screened at dozens of festivals and won multiple awards. They have three completed feature length scripts in early stages of pitch and development.
