It is on set that Marilyn really shines and this is largely due to her confident and easy-going nature. I found her ability to make the cast feel at ease reflected upon the crew and contributed to a pleasant working environment. Whenever time was short Maz was able to think on her feet and quickly replan a scene, allowing us to complete our daily schedules.
David Boyd
1st Assistant Director - River City
Maz is an incredibly supportive and collaborative director. It was a joy to work with a director who not only brought out the best in the project but also in the people around her.
