Olivia (Autumn) Rennie, creating under the pseudonym 'Autumn Sky,' is a 3rd year MD/PhD student at the University of Toronto, as well as an independent filmmaker (writer, director, producer) and Artistic Director of her Toronto-based production company, Exuvium Productions. She is also currently working towards diplomas in Writing for Film & TV and Video Production at Toronto Film School. As a filmmaker, medical researcher, and Emergency physician-in-training, Autumn works to leverage the power of screen-based media to raise awareness about critical issues in medicine and society. Her PhD is a 'research-creation' project, producing films that challenge ideas surrounding disease and disability, and develop a truly 'collaborative' filmmaking approach which enables patients to become key players in the filmmaking process themselves. With an educational background in neuroscience, she is particularly interested in exploring the lived experience of individuals with neurological and/or psychological diseases, disorders, or injuries.
