Sheri Leigh Myers grew up in Delaware, Ohio in a split-level house with two brothers, a sister, a mom who taught school and a father, Coach Fred Myers, who initiated the nationally-ranked Ohio Wesleyan University soccer and lacrosse programs.
Sheri Leigh started in theater after training at The Drama Center in London. Among her directing and writing projects was "In Her Own Words" about Marilyn Monroe, that toured Los Angeles, Palm Beach, Atlanta, and Capetown, South Africa.
With the national Kaiser Permanente AV Department, Sheri produced everything from short films to the breakthrough 10-hour series "Living with HIV," that was seen around the world. Her organizational skills were engaged in subsequent years as a political campaign coordinator for certain democratic presidential and congressional candidates in Florida and California.
Thanks to Edward Kovach, Sheri began writing screenplays. Their first collaboration was "The Angel Channel" now titled "The Glitch," due to film in Louisiana in Spring of 2016, starring Katy Mixon Greer, directed by David Boyd, produced by Sheridan Film Company. With Ben Lewin, the director and writer of _The Sessions_ (2012) winner of the Sundance Audience Award, two comedy film scripts emerged; "The Customer from Hell" and _Serial Bride (2015)_ - now in preproduction with Such Much Films.
Sheri is the author of two books: "Cheated!" a graphic novel about the 2004 presidential election, illustrated by her daughter, prize-winning cartoonist Sophie Goldstein, and "The Bride Revealed," a photographic essay about getting married, featuring the work of Leslie Barton.
She is also the writer/director/producer of The Turdblossom Lectures, One & Two. These animated shorts star Karl Rove, giving guidance and some history into electronic vote theft.
Sheri Leigh and her husband, costume designer/supervisor Daniel Moore have traveled to many desirable film locations around the world. Yet, it was their stay in New Orleans only a few months after Hurricane Katrina that convinced them they'd found a new home. With their family-based Sheridan Film Company, Sheri Leigh Myers is living her dream - making films that stir the soul and living in New Orleans.
