TOBY MARKS is a neurodivergent award-winning writer who has worked in London, LA, and Vancouver and pitched to media companies across the world, including Netflix, Shudder, and Neon. She likes the 3 M’s (magic, mystery and murder) telling stories with math/science motifs about smart dynamic women in dark, ominous settings. In 2022, her horror-comedy short was a Crazy 8 finalist, and her crime thriller script made Filmarket Hub’s “Excellent Scripts” list. In 2023 she was selected for the Pacific Screenwriting Program and in 2024, she participated in the Genre Film Lab and pitched her period zombie feature at Fantasia’s Frontières Market. That same year her scifi pilot won best hour pilot script at the Nashville Film Festival. And recently, she was named one of the "10 Killer Canadian Screenwriters To Watch in 2025" by Killer Shorts.
