Miles Zajaczkowski Beckett is one of the Creators of the lonelygirl15 saga. He is also a Creator of the KateModern web series.

The Los Angeles Times [1] identified Beckett as a "Web-obsessed 28-year-old medical school drop-out." The New York Times [2] identified Beckett as a doctor turned filmmaker. Miles has a B.A. in Neuroscience from UC Berkeley and an M.D. from UC San Diego. From 1998-1999, while he attended UC Berkeley, Miles worked as the design editor and writer at the Heuristic Squelch [3], "UC Berkeley's only intentionally funny publication." Miles was working at a Plastic Surgery Internship from Loma Linda University Medical Center when he decided to leave.

After considering work as a consultant to transition out of medicine, Beckett instead decided to produce internet videos. He created a video podcasting company called SHOUTBOY, which produced the internet mini-series "West Wingers," spoofing a White House press conferences. He was also the writer, director, and producer of "Star Wards," a medical spoof comedy.

The idea of creating the lonelygirl15 saga was Beckett's. Beckett spent a lot of time on YouTube and noticed that the most popular original content was videobloggers. Beckett imagined creating a story around a videoblogger, and that people would not know if it was real or fake. He met Mesh Flinders at a karaoke-bar birthday party in April 2006. Flinders had been working on a character, a shy but precocious homeschooled teenage girl, who would eventually become Bree. When the two met, they decided to collaborate on the project together.

Beckett is the editor of the lonelygirl15 videos, sometimes along with Kevin Schlanser. When "The Creators" make posts at the lonelygirl15 forums, it is usually Miles writing. Flinders has credited Miles as the driving force behind the success of lonelygirl15.

Miles says that he's inspired by creativity, the passion of lonelygirl15 fans, people who continue to fight against great adversity, and closing plot holes. If he were not running LG15 Studios, he says he would like to be a professional surfer. Miles has a love for the ocean, and threatens to sail around the world some day, but secretly figures it might be "better in theory."
