Caribbean-based writer-producer. Currently pushing creative boundaries.

About

Words have always been my thing. I was three when my brother was born; there was allegedly a welcome speech. I suspect, since I wasn’t great at verbal apologies back then, that once the sibling rivalry took hold, so did the writing: “Sorry for blowing out your birthday candles/wrecking your bike/selling you out to the parents.” I read everything I could get my hands on, and wrote anything I could imagine. Poetry. Short stories. Songs. Essays. Plays. English teachers loved me; suggested writing might actually be my calling — so naturally, I didn’t fully commit to it. Went into TV and film production, which offered just enough crossover to explore both worlds, and the hyphenate kind of stuck. Don’t regret a thing. Well, except for not grabbing a bigger slice of birthday cake.

Work

I’ve scripted the majority of my projects and some of the films I’ve produced have won awards, so I guess people liked them. I particularly enjoy documentary filmmaking because it gives people with interesting stories a voice, but I also love fiction — reading it, watching it, writing it, producing it.

I genuinely like creating stories for children.

One of the best things about being a wirter-producer is that filmmaking is a team effort, and I’m incredibly grateful to be able to work with some of the best. The Caribbean has my heart, so sharing our culture and telling our stories bring me great joy.

I trained for this, by the way. I have a Bachelor of Applied Arts Degree in Radio and Television Arts from Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson, but they changed the name for good reason) — and I continue to train every day, because I’m consantly learning.
