Meera Menon is an American director, writer, and editor. Her feature directorial debut, Farah Goes Bang, screened at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2013 and was awarded the inaugural Nora Ephron Prize by Tribeca and Vogue. She currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband, cinematographer Paul Gleason.
Because of this way of thinking about film, Menon did not seriously consider filmmaking as a career until she attended Columbia University, and took classes that were taught by professional filmmakers. Menon received a BA in English and Art History from Columbia, but while she was there, she began directing films and discovered a passion for the craft. She went on to receive an MFA from the USC School of Cinematic Arts.
Menon's first full-length feature film, Farah Goes Bang, was described by Jennifer Mills as one that, "explores many genres: the road movie, the sexual coming of age movie, the political film, the buddy movie." Menon co-wrote the film with Laura Goode, who also acted as a producer. Not only did Menon win the Nora Ephron Prize for Farah Goes Bang, but the film also won awards at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival and CAAMFest.
In 2015, Menon directed the female-driven Wall Street drama Equity. The film premiered in Competition at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival.
In 2016, Menon also wrote and directed the short film The Press Conference for Refinery29's ShatterBox Anthology, a series of 12 shorts written and directed by women. The short premiered on Refinery29 on 23 September 2016.
She had also worked as a director on the TV series The Magicians for an episode in the third, and two in the fourth season.
According to Syfy in 2022, Menon will direct a film based on Naomi Novik's best-selling YA fantasy A Deadly Education, in development by Mandeville Films as part of a series bought by Universal Hollywood.
