THE DIRECTOR

Described as a "one-woman film industry" and
“our Woodette Allen”, Sharon Hyman produces, writes, directs, films, and edits her movies - and also stars in them!

Sharon and best pal Naomi Levine have been making what they coined “auto-documentaries”
(turning the camera back on oneself to tell one’s own story) since their youth - using humor and candor to show a side of the female psyche rarely seen in the mainstream media.

“Two white chicks, filming it as they live it, and working it out. As therapy, it obviously has its uses.
As art, undoubtedly.
And as entertainment, absolutely…”
- The Montreal Gazette

“Hyman is wise. She should be given
immediate carte blanche to do a feature.
Now. Hyman is our Woodette Allen”.
- POV Magazine

“The poignancy of life's large and
small complications - the worries -
resonates because the talk lingers
in the mind after the film has ended...
It draws an epiphany out of the ordinary”.
-The Globe and Mail

Sharon founded her production company
Sharonfilms in the new millennium.

“Neverbloomers: The Search for GrownUphood”
(ten years in the making! Hyman is a true Neverbloomer!)
will be the first Sharonfilms release, and it’s already
attracting major media attention:

Sharon was selected by the Montreal Mirror magazine as one of the “Noisemakers of 2008.”

She also appeared on the cover of the Life section
of The Globe and Mail national newspaper, with a
feature interview inside detailing the
Neverbloomer phenomenon.

Sharon graduated cum laude from Concordia University
with a degree in Communication Studies,
and was then awarded several prestigious scholarships to complete a Master's degree in Educational Technology.

She was also active for many years in the field
of community television, hosting and producing her
own social-activist talk shows, and conducting
graduate research on the use of this medium
to promote social change.

She was selected for the book
"Technology with Curves:
Women Reshaping the Digital landscape"
(HarperCollins), a publication billed as
"a celebration of the women who are
increasingly the personalities and players
in the wired world."

Her first “grownup” auto-documentary
WORRIED screened at international film festivals
and was broadcast nationwide.
It was also profiled in national publications such as
The Globe and Mail, TV Guide and TV Times.

‘I did all that?’ Hyman muses.
Still feeling like the quintessential Neverbloomer,
she aspires to feel like a grownup in bloom
some day soon.
