An ambitious writer\/director\/producer passionately fights to make it in the world of filmmaking both in and out of Hollywood.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
The Pitch<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Forged in a small town in Southern Ontario, Canada with the chance to learn and make films bleak and non-existent, my passion for writing focused like a laser on the stage, but by the time I was 16, after seeing a little film called Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, my passion was engulfed by film. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I began to write scripts, terrible ones at first, learning as I grew. I was then required to make a living, as running away to Hollywood wasn\u2019t practical for a small-town girl from Canada. I started work in office administration assisting, moved into retail, found community theater and eventually found my way back into film. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I bought a camera, made some short films, directed a feature for hire and began to plan my career in earnest. Then tragedy struck and I became disabled, awaiting an operation to restore my life, but that didn\u2019t daunt me. I continued to learn and grow as a screenwriter, found Twitter and joined the screenwriting community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As of today, I write features and series, host table reads for other writers under my company banner of Northern Unicorn Films Ltd., read other writers, and keep working towards that dream of being a working screenwriter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
