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

“Neverbloomers: The Search for GrownUphood”

attracting major media attention:

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.
