Megan Wolpert Dobkin

Megan Wolpert Dobkin produces film, television and music videos with her partner, David Dobkin (Wedding Crashers, Eurovision: The Story Of Fire Saga, The Judge). She has produced two of the top ten highest streamed music videos of all time, Maroon 5’s Sugar and Girls Like You. Her development credits also include Girl, Interrupted, Walk The Line, The Recruit, The Vow, and two of the Scream franchise movies. In addition to working closely with writers on her film/tv slate, she also stares at her own damn blinking cursor. Megan’s flash fiction and poetry has appeared in over 30 literary publications, including The McNeese Review, Cultural Weekly, Word Riot, Crack The Spine, Cliterature, and Chrome Baby (where her piece “Night Waking” was nominated for Best Of The Net). However, of all the professional lanes Megan juggles, she is most proud of the eleven years she has spent as an anti-carceral organizer. Dobkin (and GIDA’s own Kristina Lear) spent three years following the lead of Patrisse Cullors in the LA Jail Fight - primarily organizing white communities to support the cancelation of a 3.5 billion dollar jail expansion project, and fighting to have that money re-allocated towards community based alternatives to incarceration (it was a win and the plan was cancelled in 2019). Dobkin and Cullors have also spent the last two years organizing together in Black, Jewish and Black & Jewish coalition spaces.
