The Writer

Director

Margaret M. MacDonald

My 20 years of experience spans several different roles in filmmaking, living and working in Los Angeles, New York and Sydney. A background in production design has helped me to hone a uniquely visual style. I like to make films that are character driven and infuse a mix of genres with a twist of fantastic reality.

My recent work includes writing and producing several feature films that are in various stages of development and production, and an ever growing pile of spec scripts which have earned me a few laurels. I have also written for production companies in Australia, creating scripts on assignment across a broad range of genres. In addition to writing, I have directed several short films, and am working toward directing a large scale project in the near future. I am also currently writing a novel series under my first publication deal.

I'd like to be known as a creator of filmic worlds rich with tangible detail, populated by characters that are as real as they are unforgettable.
