Martha Currie

Martha has a particular interest in deconstructing gender disparities in digital storytelling and the resurgence of independent cinema. She earned her Masters in Media Production with a concentration in screenwriting from Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) in September of 2021. Prior to starting her PhD in Culture Studies at Queen's University, Martha worked in the independent film industry in Toronto including her positions at the Canadian Film Centre, TIFF and Hot Docs.

During her Bachelor of Journalism at Toronto Metropolitan University, Martha served as videographer for an award-winning documentary exploring domestic sex trafficking in Ontario entitled Trafficked. The film received the Student Award of Excellence for Outstanding Journalism from the Canadian Association of Journalists in May of 2020. The production team was also awarded the Post-Secondary Youth Award
in the 2020 Amnesty International Canadian Media Awards.

Martha can be found perfecting her earnest attempts at knitting and trying to fall gracefully while rollerblading.
