Morgan started her career working for acclaimed documentarian Errol Morris on his IFC series “First Person.” Inspired by Morris’ work, she moved to Lynchburg, VA in 2001 where she shot her first film, the award-winning documentary “Treasure of Thomas Beale” about treasure hunters seeking the famed Beale treasure. Back in New England, Morgan produced a number of projects, including two narrative features; “Shout it Out!” (2008 – HD Musical) and Andrew Bujalski’s “Mutual Appreciation” (2005 – 16mm Feature Film), and associate produced “They Made America” (2004 – PBS documentary) and “Funny Ha Ha” (2003 – Feature Film). Most recently, she wrote and directed a short fantasy film “”Tick Tock Time Emporium”", now on the festival circuit. When not directing, Morgan spends her time in the edit room, and in 2010 edited Eric Mendelsohn’s “3 Backyards” – a feature awarded the Best Director prize at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. In the last six months she has edited the Madison Square Garden arena video for the New York Knicks, as well as ad campaigns for NBC, New Balance and DEVO.
