Mathy is an independent producer, writer and activist, dedicated to amplifying under-represented and marginalised voices through storytelling. 

As a creative development producer, my passion lies in the intersection of film and disability. I am especially interested in spotlighting character-driven narratives of disability and illness, and championing stories told through the lenses of lived experience.

At present I am a Programme Adviser at Sheffield Doc/Fest, and a script reader for The Writers Lab. With extensive experience in the film industry and arts sector, I have worked with and consulted for organisations such as the Independent Cinema Office, Film Hub North, Unlimited, Slate/Eclipse, the National Paralympic Heritage Trust and more.

As a disability activist and advocate, I have been featured on nationally broadcast television and radio, in newspapers and on online platforms such as HuffPost, and have been invited to speak in Parliament with Muscular Dystrophy UK.

I am a member of the 2025 cohort of In Development: Producers Lab programme run by Film Hub North and Film Hub Midlands, and an alumna of the Sky Writes talent development programme from Sky Studios and New Writing North. I have also been recognised as a Trailblazer of the Future by Campaign Magazine, for my work in championing diversity in the creative industries.
