The Director

Meredith Heil recently received her MA in Social Documentation from the University of California, Santa Cruz. She currently lives in Bloomington, IN where she is pursuing her PhD in Communication & Culture.

Meredith graduated from The Putney School in Putney, Vermont, an alternative boarding school located on a working dairy farm. After a short stint in San Francisco, she moved to Brooklyn, New York, where she graduated from Eugene Lang College (a division of The New School) in 2007. After some grueling internships and the break up of her first (and only) band, The Westward Ho, Meredith decided to get the Hell out of NYC. She then moved to Northampton, Mass to live the good life and serve muffins and scones in a local bakery. After establishing her web presence at So We Here, a monthly mixtape music blog, Meredith got accepted into the Social Documentation program at UCSC and headed west once again.

“Whistlin’ Dixie” is Meredith’s first large scale documentary project and was completed in conjunction with her Social Documentation Masters degree.
