Megan Blackburn is a visual journalist specializing in cultural and culinary stories. Her primary goal in every effort is to create connection believing firmly that a more connected world is a kinder one. Her award-winning video work can be seen on Vice, Netflix, Travel Channel, Lonely Planet, Discovery, CNN, Travel+Leisure, and more.

Long before she earned her MFA in Documentary Film from SVA, Megan fell in love with the power of storytelling growing up in the deep south where she worked in her father’s civil rights law firm. There she witnessed the vital power of storytelling in action.

Megan’s greatest gift is her ability to slow down and offer her genuine presence to whomever she is with. Her openness and intentionality create an atmosphere of warmth and trust that permeates any environment.

Otherwise she smiles often and doesn't like to talk about herself too much - preferring to spend her time wisely immersing herself in the various passions of her craft.
