“I have a passion for creating films that depict the queer and other underrepresented communities with the honesty and beauty we deserve.”

Her current project ‘Elephant Sheets’ that is in post-production delves into the life of Leni, a queer women who moves to Toronto in 1990. “I always knew that I was made to direct. In most aspects of life I find myself easily slipping into a position of leadership. I also have a very visual and emotive way of thinking… two qualities I think come hand in hand when directing film.”
