Career

McKercher produced and directed Circle of Steel, which is a dark comedy about the safety culture of the oil and gas industry. The film was shot in Alberta, Canada, and was one of six productions to receive a government grant. Circle of Steel premiered at the Calgary International Film Festival in September 2018.

Her second feature film, Lucky Star, premiered as the closing film of the 2024 Calgary International Film Festival.

A graduate of the Director's Lab at the Canadian Film Centre, she was co-founder with Guillaume Carlier and Nicola Waugh of Kino Sum Productions.

Her third feature film, Scar Tissue, is in development.
