About

Molly Flood was born in Coquitlam, raised in Edmonton, lived in Calgary and resides in Toronto. A graduate of the University of Alberta’s BFA Acting Conservatory and The Second City Conservatory program, she performed in Theatres and played in bands across Canada before cutting her first 16mm film, Shy Vampire, at Ryerson’s Chang School of Continuing Education. With a strong background in theatre and music, Molly’s work is rhythmic and often incorporates elements of comedy, physicality and bold musical choices. The oldest of four girls, her interest in filmmaking lies in depicting complex female relationships and the female gaze. Recipient of the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Emerging Artist Scholarship and winner of the Toronto ACTRA Women’s Committee Toolkit 4.0 competition, Molly has directed music videos, commercials and short films. Her first short, Orchid, for which she received a Best Director nomination (Austin Revolution Film Festival) is now streaming as part of the NSI Online Film Festival. She is a member of ACTRA, Canadian Actors Equity Association (CAEA), WIFT-Toronto and an associate artist with experimental performance collective It Could Still Happen. Select TV credits include Orphan Black, Rogue Season 3 and Blackstone.
