Leah Meyerhoff's Blurbs |
About me:
A Brown University graduate, Leah Meyerhoff is currently pursuing a Masters in Film at New York University.
While at NYU, Leah directed Twitch, a short film about a girl's irrational fear that her mother's disability is contagious.
A Slamdance Grand Jury Prize winner and Student Academy Awards finalist, Twitch has screened at over 100 film festivals worldwide and won half a dozen First Place awards.
Recently, Leah completed Team Queen, a music video for the queer-post-punk band Triple Creme, starring Murray Hill, Julie Atlas Muz, Tigger, and Scotty the Blue Bunny and Eternal Flame, a music video for Joan As Police Woman, currently airing on MTV Europe.
Her past work includes Neurotica, Pacmouse, and Wonderfluff Sandwiches
Leah is currently working on her first feature film Unicorns
******************************************************
Twitch is a story about fear, love, and an uncertain future. Meyerhoff has secured her place in film with this short movie. She's done a story that is as honest as it is touching. Her ability to sum up a young girl's life in ten minutes is remarkable.
Film Threat
Leah is an artsy American.
New York Times
Meyerhoff, a Bay Area native and third-year graduate film student in Tisch, has plenty of success stories to put on her resume: On top of being featured in the popular series "Film School" on IFC, her latest film, the poignant and poetic short Twitch, rocked the Slamdance Film Festival.
Washington Square News
Award-winning director Leah Meyerhoff has built up a large list of accomplishments as a filmmaker.
New England Film
Young filmmaker Leah Meyerhoff writes and directs this short film that so far has won almost universal accolades on the festival set. We can take solace that Meyerhoff is now working on her first feature-length film. We now must wait for Meyerhoff's talents to fully bloom.
Film Monthly
When the story is as good as filmmaker Leah Meyerhoff's, you can't help but be drawn in.
