Mishki is a writer, director and producer hailing from Toronto, Canada. She has a B.A. in Cultural Studies from McGill University and an M.F.A. in Screenwriting from the University of Southern California. She spent the better part of the last decade living and working in Los Angeles and then Costa Rica, but once again calls Toronto home… (until winter, when she misses sunshine).

Mishki’s worked in feature film development at Simon Kinberg’s Genre Films (X-Men, The Martian, Deadpool) and in television development and production at Jason Winer’s Small Dog Picture Company (Modern Family, Life In Pieces, The Big Leap), where she cut her teeth on the first season of Single Parents (ABC) and Woman Up (ABC pilot), before moving into the writer’s room on NBC’s Perfect Harmony where she co-wrote the season finale. She’s developed and pitched TV shows to major networks and streamers and her feature film script, #FreeBritney, won runner-up in Script Pipeline’s Screenwriting Competition in 2022.

Most recently, Mishki wrote and directed the award-winning short film, Bardo, with the support of OPC in Toronto. Her next short, Meatball, screened at the Canadian Film Fest in 2025 as part of the Comedy Igniter Challenge. Mishki just wrapped production on a short film set in Nova Scotia starring Canadian icon Megan Follows.

From a young age, Mishki understood the cathartic nature of storytelling and the power of owning your own voice. Mishki writes dark comedies about imperfect women exploring the deep fears and dilemmas of the human experience. As a director, Mishki’s approach is all about emotional truth, feeling and movement. She aims to take the audience on a journey from start to finish, with the goal of making people laugh, cry and think. She considers filmmaking “good magic,” accidentally has two dogs and will absolutely read your astrology chart.
