Findlay Ironside
Writer, Director, Producer
Findlay Ironside is an emerging screenwriter and filmmaker, and a graduate candidate in the MFA Scriptwriting and Story Design program at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University). Her work largely focuses on slice of life, female driven narratives that tend to be dark in nature, but balanced by hopeful undertones. She enjoys dissecting difficult and emotional subject matter, and exploring tenuous family relationships in her writing. The script for her upcoming film, Family Portraits, has received over a dozen laurels, and most notably won the Raindance Film Festival script contest at the Oscar qualifying festival this past summer. Currently, she is also one of ten students from across North American participating in an emerging filmmakers incubator program through Film Independent in partnership with Hieronyvision. Outside of her screenwriting aspirations, Findlay is also a published children's author, working costume designer, and part time special education coordinator.
