Yes sir. Megan.

[@Silverblade416]

Maybe his daughter from another alternate reality. The Cloverfield Paradox affected the timelines of each alternate realities. Maybe the Megan shown here is another one?

[@kell_checks_in]

Not accurately. The girl shown here (and, she is a girl, not a woman) is about fifteen; Howard's daughter is about 25 years old.

Best comment! Thanks!

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

nazart -- Honestly, this short should be shown in theaters before a big Box Office Blockbuster...I would pay an extra dollar on the ticket to see it. The production value is excellent. Maybe this should have been part of The Cloverfield Paradox (which I still haven't seen yet)? I gather, this is better than that film.

[@floatingrabbit3556]

That awkward moment when you think the thumbnail is a link to a cloverfield explanation on what this or that means but it turns out to be a short film. Now these are kinds of surprises i NEED!!!

This is what I love to see for Cloverfield movies. Every movie is so different but all connected. And to see more backstory and characters in this is just amazing. I also hope to see more people make more films and later on become official. I have a feeling that this was Abram's plans from the beginning. Great job.

this was ok but paradox wass reeeally good this to say the least this flim was 3 min of credits...

[@Hackerb0b]

paradox was really rushed and a lazy excuse to connect all the movies

[@BefallGaming]

Saying Paradox was good, now THAT'S a real Paradox.

[@dogecoininvestor9297]

1:36 says on the computer screen it says a red flash occurred so this is one of the events on earth form paradox

[@kaismessiahbaby755]

It was also stated in 10CL by Emmett that when everything happened it started with a "red flash".

[@bjamiork]

Was not expecting this level of quality, even down to the little details such as when the soldiers put on their gas masks and placed a hand over the front to inhale and check the respirator (I remember that from my military days lol). This was great and super interesting, I hope this gets a ton of exposure! Remember...Dan Trachtenberg created a Portal fan film and ended up going on to direct 10 Cloverfield Lane so...who knows what MEGAN could lead to? :)

[@MrAlfable]

I was on the opposite end of the spectrum for "level of detail," like the soldier talking to the girl on the helicopter even though she doesn't have any gear so there's no way she hears him or he hears her, and the soldier with a full mountain man beard (as I'm sure you remember, beards + military gas masks don't work), and the helicopter spinning seemed to have no effect on the group in the helicopter (they should be feeling some pretty heavy centrifugal force when that's happening, instead they're just sitting there with what looks like a little bumpiness). Those are just nitpicks though, its well produced and fun little fan film, but level of detail is not one of the things I'd praise about it.
