“Do I Scare You” was filmed 4 years ago today. Good excuse to watch it!

In Defense of a "Killer Actress"
In Defense of a "Killer Actress"

In my opinion, most of the media coverage on this has been inaccurate, sensationalized, and unfairly biased toward painting my co-star as a villain. Headlines that refer to her as a “killer actress” who “played a killer in a horror movie” have more or less perpetuated a game of telephone.

Making the “I Never” Trilogy: A Look Back

It was a chilly winter day in Ashland when Rory Owens and I met up at the downtown Starbucks to talk about making a film. I had spent the day before writing the script in that same Starbucks, at the next table over.

The truth is that How To Marry A Vampire was a big pipe dream of mine that proved to be much more difficult to pull off than I had originally anticipated…

What I've Discovered about Film Festivals
What I've Discovered about Film Festivals

At the end of this blog post, I am sharing my latest short film, BETWEEN THE MOUNTAINS, to celebrate its rejection from a film festival and my recent discovery about how okay that is.

What I Learned from My Last Play Reading
What I Learned from My Last Play Reading

Bathroom problems of the elderly aside, there is definitely a lesson to be learned there. You need to remember your audience. It’s something I’ve struggled with sometimes as an eccentric weirdo with a tendency to speak in long anecdotal diatribes. When my characters do the same thing, one’s ability to stay attentive can become a problem.

Acting After 30: Will You Crumble Into a Pile of Dust?

The story of how a casting director once told me that being 25 meant I ‘had 5 years left to live.’

Hi, my name is Mig Windows. I am NOT:

  • A window company

  • Part of a fighter jet

  • Or in any way affiliated with Microsoft.

I AM, however:

  • A filmmaker

  • An actress

  • Someone who writes stories, books, plays, screenplays, and other creative works

  • Proudly located in Southern Oregon.

about me:

I was bitten by the theatre bug, the film bug, and the literature bug at a very young age. Basically there I was, this little toddler, who was attacked by a plague of inspirational locusts because my exposure to art was so visceral and incredible. I never recovered, and have been spending most of my time since then churning out content in the forms of short films, stories, plays, and more. I also get on stage and on camera quite a bit. I love every second of it. 

It's my hope that this website will help you, the reader, to discover some of these projects that I've been working on. Hope you enjoy!
