Writer. Director. Creative Producer.
Well, hello there… Welcome to my website.
I’m Miriam, a bundle of energy, enthusiasm and pizazz. (At least after a strong pot of coffee.)
Simply put, I don’t want to make things; I want to change how we see the world. This is why I became a writer, producer and director, to tell the stories that need to be given airtime. All the while doing so from a unique perspective, that of a mixed-race, single-parent and self-made woman. Now that you know the most vulnerable things about me, you will understand how this shaped my career path and mission. So let’s bring stories from underrepresented groups to the big screen.
A bit about my journey: I originally hail from The UK and The Netherlands; My work has spanned three continents. After starting my career in Reality TV in Australia, I returned to London, where I produced and directed scripted content for platforms such as Amazon, Unilever, and Virgin. In addition, I have created documentaries for NGOs like UN Women, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and World Vision.
Since being in Canada, I have been working as a Writer and Director on the upcoming Docuseries for CBC, and I joined PSP & Break The Room in their Pitch Accelerator program.
My other credits include Writer/EP on WHERE ARE YOU FROM, AP on THE GREYBOURNE (ABC/Disney+), Research Producer on OUR WAR (The History Channel) and Showrunner’s Assistant/ Story Intern on FAMILY LAW S.2/3.
I have also worked in the production office for productions such as CBC’s The Twilight Zone, Netflix’s There’s Someone Inside Your House and Neil Blomkamp’s Unlocked. Carmen Bonnici represents me at Pacific Artists, and I am a proud member of the WGC.
So what makes me special? Well, I bring passion and out-of-the-box creativity to every project I work on. I fundamentally believe that relationships are what shape our lives, our work and the stories we tell. I aim to bring out the best in people, striving to make every colleague, client and crew member feel as comfortable and appreciated as possible. I believe this ensures the best results and creates a safe space for creativity to shine.
Right, that’s enough about me. Please reach out. I’d love to hear from you.
