Biographical history
Mary Young Leckie was educated at York University where she studied Canadian film, Fine Arts and Canadian Literature. As a production manager/line producer, she has worked on film and television productions for CBC, NBC, PBS, Disney, TV Ontario, MGM and Orion. During the 1980's Leckie produced the TV series "Spirit Bay". Leckie's first independent film "Where the Spirit Lives" (1990) with Heather Goldin was the winner of over 30 international awards. She formed Tapestry Pictures Inc. with Goldin in 1999. Leckie's major production credits include the TV mini-series "The Arrow", the CBC performing arts series "Gzowski in Conversation", the films "Children of My Heart" (2000) and "By Jeeves" (2001), the CTV network movie of the week, "Tagged: The Jonathan Wamback Story" (2001) and the CBC television mini-series "Shattered City: The Halifax Explosion" (2003) and "Prom Queen : The Mark Hall Story" (2004). In February 2005, Leckie and her partner Heather Haldane relaunched Tapestry Pictures as Screen Door with an aim at increasing its domestic and international connections. Their first project "Spirit Bear : The Simon Jackson Story" was distributed in the United States by L.A. based MarVista Entertainment. Among Screen Door's development projects are the mini-series "Everest!", "Vengeance : The Donnelly Massacre," "Hockey Dreams," "MVP" and the documentaries "Labyrinth of Desire", "The Nut" and "Maple Leaf Up".
