Sylvia crafts unique, female-led drama features with science fiction elements where she draws on her personal experience and interests to create worlds where character connection is paramount.

Raised in a small farming community so bland that an entire TV show was dedicated to its “Schittiness”, she developed a love for the transportive nature of stories and film, which provided a necessary escape.

After high school, she was fortunate enough to make her real-life escape to the big city where she studied fashion, a life-changing experience that led to a fruitful career, though it never really felt like the right path for her.

While working as a designer, she took a screenwriting course at a local university and fell head-over-heels for the art form, discovering that it perfectly combined her love of storytelling with her passion for film.

Equipped with her new skills, she began creating her strange worlds and stories based on her questions and experiences, an adventure she undertakes daily.

She’s had multiple projects place at AFF, Screencraft (RIP) and Final Draft’s Big Break. Sylvia happily resides in the Great White North with her three kids and furry overlord, Charlie.

If you’re interested in working together or chatting about cats and video games, she’d love to hear from you.
