Meredith

Creator/Writer / Director

In the heart of New Orleans' vibrant cultural landscape stands a true artistic powerhouse: Diedra "Deepa Soul" Meredith. As the driving force behind Sunstar Gate Productions, she's not just a director – she's a cultural alchemist who transforms raw talent into pure gold.After honing her craft through twenty electric years in New York City's entertainment scene, Deepa Soul brought her magnetic vision south, where she's been setting the Big Easy's creative world ablaze. Her genius shines through in groundbreaking productions like "Music Of A Movement," a soul-stirring symphonic journey through the 1950s and 60s featuring the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra.But that's just the beginning.

 

Deepa's artistic reach extends from championing LGBTQ+ voices through the Outmusic Awards to capturing the raw essence of New Orleans legends in documentaries like "Rugged & Funky," which unveils the untold story of Professor Longhair. Now, as Creator & Director of The New Orleans Legacy Project, she's cementing her role as more than just a director – she's a multimedia activist and fierce guardian of culture, weaving stories that will echo through generations.
