I have work in many worlds that have allowed me to tell my stories, from film, stage, web series and comic books. And now I also have a passion to help others tell their stories too. And have recently taken root at Mattel in the Digital Entertainment Group to help do just that. Here’s the long version of my formal bio: Ward's short film IN THEIR ABSENCE was awarded five times both domestically and abroad and was named one of the best short films of the decade by Festival de cortos MíraLes. Ward is the Executive Producer/Writer/Director of one of the most watched (100 million views world wide) and beloved independent scripted drama on the web, "Anyone But Me." "Anyone But Me" has brought home nearly ever award in the industry including Ward winning (along with Susan Miller) the first ever Writers Guild Award for Short Form. She has been nominated several times for her directing, including a Streamy Award. And won an IAWTV Award for Best Directing in a Drama. Later Ward debuted the critically acclaimed "Good People in Love", a dramatic mini series that DIGIDAY calls “...a new milestone for online video series.” "Producing Juliet," Ward's third original series made its debut at the Raindance Film Festival to fantastic reviews including The Huffington Post. "Producing Juliet" has also garnered three Indie Series Award nominations including a nomination for Ward's direction, topped off by the IAWTV award for Best Writing (Drama). ‘Delegates" was Ward's first jump into the comic book world published digitally on Amazon, releasing since 2018 it’s a 30 issue series.In 2016 Ward became Chair of The International Academy of Web Television and in 2017, after a successful merge with The Caucus and the IAWTV, Ward served on the Caucus Executive Committee overseeing The IAWTV Division until 2019. And in 2022, took the helm of the IAWTV Awards again.In 2019, Ward directed the second season of the Emmy winning short form series "After Forever" now on Amazon Prime. And in 2020, Ward won the Indie Series Award for Best Directing - Drama.Ward has been highlighted in several books on web series as a pioneer in the medium. In 2022, a new definitive book on web series "The Production of Global Web-Series in a Networked Age" released and Ward is the subject of the last chapter and also wrote the Preface. Ward jumped over to the executive side and originated the role of Director of Development for Trifecta Entertainment.
