M Wersinger Headshot.jpg

I've been making films for nearly 30 years and have worked in nearly every capacity behind the scenes. I have a passion for creative storytelling and enjoy challenging projects that offer a chance for a vibrant collaboration. I've  worked in 28 US states and over 26 countries around the world, overseeing shoots that range from fashion and celebrity work to action, longform and doc style shoots, and am member of the Director's Guild of America as a Unit Production Manager.

I am originally from  Rochester, NY, and went to NYU's Tisch School of the Arts where I earned my BFA with a focus in Cinematography within the Film Production department. Upon graduating, I worked as a grip, music video producer, television news editor and warzone field producer in Afghanistan before relocating to Los Angeles. There, I shifted into commercials and feature films as a production manager and location scout & manager before moving into producing. My work has garnered a Location Manager of the Year nomination ('Into the Wild', 2007), an AICP Award for Excellence in Production ('NFL 100' in 2020), and two Emmy Awards ('Best of the US' in 2018 & 'NFL 100' in 2020).

Outside of my film work, I'm a black belt and part time instructor of Brazilian jiu jitsu. I've dedicated considerable time to serving my community over the years. In Rochester, I was a volunteer firefighter and Emergency Medical Technician driving an ambulance. Upon moving to Los Angeles, I was elected to my local Neighborhood Council for four terms, including two as President, and I was also the Board Chair for two years of a regional alliance of community leaders who represented nearly 500,000 Angelenos in civic affairs. I currently serve as the Board Chair of Safe Parking LA, a non profit with over 20 full time employees dedicated to safety, services and transition to permanent housing for those living in vehicles.
