Meyer grew up in Los Angeles as the daughter of screenwriter and director Nicholas Meyer, whose credits include an Academy Award nomination for adapted screenplay.[1](https://los40.com/2025/04/21/quien-es-dylan-meyer-la-mujer-de-kristen-stewart-con-quien-se-ha-casado-tras-seis-anos-juntas/) • [3](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3231710/bio/) Her earliest listed writing credit is the short film *Loose Ends* (2015), for which she received both story and screenplay credit.[9](https://www.filmnoir.app/links/tmdb/person/1492313)
Her first wide release was *XOXO* (2016), a Netflix film starring [Sarah Hyland](https://www.edgepedia.org/sarah-hyland), which she co-wrote and executive produced.[8](https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a33001500/who-is-dylan-meyer-kristen-stewart-girlfriend/) She also wrote episodes of the science-fiction series *Miss 2059*.[8](https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a33001500/who-is-dylan-meyer-kristen-stewart-girlfriend/)

Tamara Chestna and Meyer adapted the book together.[7](https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/moxie-movie-review-2021) Critics responded to the film with measured praise: RogerEbert.com's reviewer found that the script "tries to do too much on occasion," and the Boston Globe wrote that it "juggles a lot of balls and arguably too many," while the [Irish Examiner](https://www.edgepedia.org/irish-examiner) called it "a high school movie that packs a considerable punch."[7](https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/moxie-movie-review-2021) • [10](https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/03/05/arts/moxie-netflix-trying-make-school-cool-or-least-less-toxic/) • [11](https://www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/artsandculture/arid-40236275.html) On Rotten Tomatoes the film holds a 70 percent critics score.[2](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/dylan_meyer)

Meyer has said she wrote the *The Wrong Girls* screenplay in her mid-20s, more than a decade before filming it, about her friendship with her roommate and later producing partner Maggie McLean; she described the characters as "cartoon versions of us."[13](https://www.finaldraft.com/blog/the-wrong-girls-filmmaker-dylan-meyer-talks-bringing-your-authentic-self-to-the-page) • [4](https://cinemafemme.com/2026/08/12/dylan-meyer-on-the-wrong-girls-female-friendship-and-the-joy-of-living-life-on-your-own-terms/) In a Vogue interview she framed the film against the male-dominated buddy-comedy genre, saying she wanted to avoid making "a girl movie doing an impression of boy movies" and to show a community of women she believed existed but had rarely been put on screen.[16](https://www.vogue.com/article/shatara-michelle-ford-dylan-meyer-interview) The production shot in Los Angeles after qualifying for the California Film & TV Tax Credit, which Meyer called "a dream" after earlier plans to film in Vancouver, New Orleans, or New Jersey.[15](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3231710/news/)
