An alumna of the CFC, Christine Rodriguez is a writer from Montreal who creates from a mixed-race, Afro-Trinidadian perspective. Her play, Dreaming in Autism, received third prize at Ottawa Little Theatre’s 72nd National One-Act Playwriting Competition. Her TYA play, Simone, Half and Half, published by Playwrights Canada Press, earned her a second nomination from Gala Dynastie, this time as Author of the Year. Her first Gala Dynastie nomination was in 2022 for Filmmaker of the Year, thanks to her debut short film Fuego, which she wrote, produced and directed in English, French and Spanish. She’s taken part in the WBD Access x Canadian Academy Writers Program and has received two Rogers – BSO development grants to write TV pilots. She was part of the PWM’s 2023 Gros Morne Playwright Residence and continues to work on her next play entitled ORO.
