Hi! I'm Mandi. I'm a queer Canadian WGC-eligible screenwriter, story editor, script consultant, director, and educator that specializes in making a fool of myself.
I'm based in Toronto, Ontario and use she/her pronouns. As an LGBTQ+ rights advocate, I'm on a mission to tell inclusive, progressive stories in hopes on making the world a more accepting, loving place.
Currently, I'm contracted to write an LGBTQ+ romance/adventure feature for a Canadian production company, plus co-wrote the short film version funded by the Canada Council for the Arts. I'm also the story editor for a dark comedy web series funded by Telefilm/WIDC, a script consultant for YN Films, plus worked as a script analyst for the 2022 Female Eye Film Festival. I also facilitate my one-of-a-kind Writing Through Play intensive, inspired by my training in Pochinko clown.
When I'm not writing scripts, giving coverage, editing stories, making pitch decks, or creating my own content, I can be found rummaging for treasure in thrift stores, solving puzzles in escape rooms, smacking birdies at badminton, or throwing plastic spoons during screenings of The Room.
