Hi! I'm Mandi. I'm an LGBTQ+ Canadian screenwriter, director, union actor, singer, musician, independent producer, script reader and acting coach that specializes in Pochinko clown, character acting, and making a fool of myself.
I currently reside in Toronto, Ontario with my fat cat Marlo. I use she/her pronouns and I'm passionate about storytelling, mental health and the esoteric masterpiece that is The Room.
