Filmmaker Cat Rhinehart spends one year closely following comedian Ralphie May, leading up to his planned weight loss surgery. Initially intended to be a weight loss documentary, what is captured instead is a raw and intimate portrait of a family dealing with addiction, a wife coming to terms with her inability to change the person she loves, and a tragically flawed comedian breaking down during one of the last years of his life.

Former high school friends run into each other years later and drunkenly decide to make good on their promise to marry each other if they're both still single by 30 - only to discover too late all the things they liked about each other when they were younger have changed.

Based on true events. "This is Meg" is a sneak peak into the Los Angeles lifestyle of a working but not famous female actress/comedienne's point of view that is forced to shift with the social media wave.
