Directing is about more than just story
Collaborative Leadership
Directing is as much about working well with one’s team as it is about story. Keegan has proven herself to be a great team leader and a director who thrives on collaborating with her crew. Seen here with 1st AD Michael Bishop on the set of her most recent movie. (Photo: Craig Minielly)

Exploring the possibilities of Virtual Production
WORKING IN THE VOLUME
Keegan was thrilled to be part of the DGC training initiative that allowed her to shoot on the virtual stage. She used the experience to play with what would feel incongruous in the vastness of the desert. Inspired by this exciting technology, she’s exploring further training to explore its myriad possibilities.
Cradle will fall (2020) Director
Cradle Will Fall

Directorial Shadowing
Shannon Kohli - The Magicians
In her first official, full-episode shadow, Keegan learned at the side of rapidly rising director Shannon Kohli, whose credits include Motherland, Supergirl and The Magicians, among others.
Chris Fisher - EP, The Magicians
Chris Fisher has been extremely gracious in allowing Keegan to shadow him on multiple episodes across several seasons, including the season finales. He continues to support Keegan as she positions herself for this next phase of her career.
Stephen Jackson - Sirens, Once Upon a Time
After 20+ years on set, Keegan recognizes the vital role that the Director of Photography plays and how important the relationship between the DOP and the director is to a successful shoot, so shadowing Jackson, with whom she worked for 6 season on Once, was a natural choice.
On-going
Extremely confident in her skills in script analysis and her innate ability to work with and speak the language of actors, Keegan continues to hone her technical skills through course work, study and further shadowing.
