Janet Swainston

Writer/director based in Canada, blending the macabre with a twisted sense of humour, exploring the human condition and the monsters that live within us all. My work reflects the characters in my life and that I want to see on screen; women of all ages, ethnicities, walks of life and underdogs. I flip the script on gender tropes and poke holes in stereotypes. I specialize in horror, comedy and thrillers, as well as mashups of the genres. I write great parts for great actors.
