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.
******************************************************
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.
