ACTRESS MEGAN HAYES FINDS A NEW DREAM BEHIND THE CAMERA<\/p>\n

\"ACTRESS<\/p>\n

Buckhead native Megan Hayes has found a new film home on a journey back and forth across the country.<\/p>\n

\"March\/April
March\/April 2013, Buckhead Insider\u2019s Guide<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Her acting career was Catching Fire from her work in the Hunger Games sequel when she appeared on the \u201cBuckhead Insider\u2019s Guide\u201d cover of Simply Buckhead\u2019s March\/ April 2013 issue. \u201cIf you\u2019re going to die on camera,\u201d she says, \u201cin Josh Hutcherson\u2019s arms in Hawaii is a really good way to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

She left Atlanta for Los Angeles in July 2013, after her father, a Southern Baptist preacher, died on her planned departure date earlier that month. She struggled but found occasional good roles, such as a customer in Zola, a buzzed-about indie at this year\u2019s Sundance Film Festival.<\/p>\n

A highlight came in 2017 while she was working as a nanny for a producer on the Hulu series Future Man, starring Hutcherson. Hayes provided the on-set voice for a smart house that\u2019s a combination of HAL- 9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey and Samantha in Her. She did so well that producers canceled plans to dub another voice in post-production.<\/p>\n

\u201cLA is not an easy city if you\u2019re a woman,\u201d Hayes says. \u201cI got told many times that a woman my age was too hard of a sell, or if they were interested in a woman my age, I didn\u2019t have enough credits.\u201d The now 46-year-old was even lying about her age at her agent\u2019s insistence. \u201cIf they know I\u2019m actually 7 years older, what are they going to do\u2013roll out a coffin for me?\u201d<\/p>\n

She returned temporarily in August when Atlanta\u2019s Chipper Dog Productions, owned by her friends Dustin Lewis and Matt Colon, shot a 12-minute film she wrote, Perchance to Dream.<\/p>\n

Originally a stage actress, she then was cast in mid-October in Waffle Palace Christmas at the Horizon Theatre. When the show ended in December, she decided to stay. She officially made the move in January, albeit to \u201cBuckhead adjacent\u201d Smyrna because \u201cwho can afford to live in Buckhead anymore?\u201d<\/p>\n

Perchance to Dream was a game changer because she directed for the first time. \u201cNow all I want to do is write and direct and create my own content and give a voice to women over 40.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shot in 2\u00bd days in black and white, Perchance stars Hayes and Lewis as middle-aged insomniacs who fall in love in the middle of the night. It pays homage to the romantic comedies of old Hollywood, especially Billy Wilder\u2019s The Apartment. (Hayes named her rescue shih tzu, Baxter, for Jack Lemmon\u2019s character in that 1960 film.)<\/p>\n

\u201cI guess I would love to be a hybrid of Billy Wilder and Nora Ephron\u2014yeah, that sounds good. I wouldn\u2019t mind a splash of Goodbye Girl. I\u2019m obsessed with that movie right now,\u201d Hayes says. While Perchance is being submitted to festivals, Hayes writes screenplays, auditions, occasionally teaches other actors and (coronavirus willing) works at Parish restaurant. \u201cAs a freelance and as an artist, you have to live 500 different lives,\u201d says Hayes, but she dreams of developing scripts that aren\u2019t about straight white men, coming-of-age girls or women whose main role is motherhood.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had quite a few people call my desire for women roles over 40 a passion project, but I don\u2019t think that it needs to be a passion project. People want that,\u201d Hayes says. \u201cJust because it\u2019s not the machine we\u2019ve been feeding all these years doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s something that doesn\u2019t need to be seen and heard.\u201d<\/p>\n

What from the past decade are you most proud of?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perchance to Dream, writing and directing.<\/p>\n

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I see myself being a creator, an executive producer, writer and director of my own show. I would love to have my own production company that is doing my work but is also enabling other women to have their work produced. I\u2019d be a voice for marginalized voices and provide an opportunity for other people. Probably call it Too Hard to Sell Productions<\/p>\n
