Online Community For Women

Andrea is an award-winning creator of film, television programming, and live productions. As founder and president of StandOut Productions, she has produced and directed over 30 films and television specials, which have aired on Showtime, Logo, Netflix, and several Canadian networks.

In 2002, Andrea produced and directed her first film, the award-winning documentary LAUGHING MATTERS. The success of the critically acclaimed film spawned three award-winning sequels. The importance of giving a voice to the LGBTQ community, as well as sharing and preserving its rich culture and history, continues to inspire Andrea. To date, she has completed nine feature documentaries about LTBTQ people and/or events.

Andrea is also a prolific producer of live comedy shows and concerts. Since founding StandOut Productions in 1997, she has staged live events featuring some of the country’s best-known entertainers, including Wanda Sykes, Indigo Girls, k.d. lang, Joan Armatrading, and Brandi Carlile. She also produced and hosted 40 episodes of her vlog, All Access Pass: Up Close & Personal with Women in the Biz, which was featured on AfterEllen.com.

Before beginning her filmmaking career, Meyerson spent nearly a decade producing fundraisers for LGBTQ non-profits including the Los Angeles LGBT Center, HRC, NCLR, SLDN, and L.A. Shanti. Her fundraising efforts have raised well over two million dollars for community organizations.

Andrea has been recognized both within and outside the LGBTQ community for her community work and activism. Among other awards, she was the first openly gay recipient of YWCA’s “Women of Achievement Award” in Arts & Entertainment, the Human Rights Campaign’s “Local Hero Award,” and the Los Ángeles LGBTQ Center’s L.A.C.E. (Lesbians Active in Community Empowerment) Award. In June 2019, the Hollywood Women’s Film Festival honored her with the “Dorothy Arzner Award” for LGBTQ Impact in Film. This year Andrea received the “Visionary of the Year” Award from the L-Fund and was selected to be a “2020 Pride Month Honoree” from the Californian Legislative LGBTQ Caucus.

The catalyst for Andrea’s body of work actually began in 1995 when she founded Women On A Roll. Her grassroots bicycle club has since evolved into one of the country’s largest social organizations for lesbians. Now in its 25th year, the organization focuses on worldwide luxury travel and still offers unique social and cultural opportunities for women.

When sheltering in place became a new way of life, Andrea immediately created Women On The Net, an online community for women. Her first email announcement was sent on March 18 with this message from Andrea “More than ever we need community. We need to connect. And we need to laugh! It is with great joy, I announce Women On The Net: a place to socialize in solidarity!” Andrea now spends her time curating events, booking talent, and hosting online gatherings designed to provide entertainment and create opportunities to socialize with women from all over the world!

Simultaneously, Andrea is currently in post production with her new documentary, “Defining Jessica,” slated to be released later this year. While sheltering in place, she is planning exciting world travel adventures for Women On A Roll for when it is safe to resume travel!
