MEGAN is the award-winning sci-fi short film about Megan Paulson, the character often referred to but never seen in the film 10 Cloverfield Lane.

The short was created, co-written, and directed by visual effects (VFX) extraordinaire Greg Strasz, an industry veteran who has worked on many notable film and television projects, including 2012, White House Down, and Independence Day: Resurgence.

Strasz brings his years of VFX experience and expertise to bear on MEGAN, which imagines what the character of Megan Paulson is doing when the events of 10 Cloverfield Lane take place.

The short boasts a tightly woven story filled with mystery and tension, as well as cutting edge visual effects.
