Biography
Trish Malone is a South African screenwriter known for her work on films such as Ayanda and the Mechanic (2015), Impunity (2014), and the TV drama series Isipho (2019). Originally from the UK, Malone relocated to South Africa after a transformative journey through the Middle East and Africa. Her career began in script development at the BBC in Glasgow, but she transitioned into screenwriting after collaborating with filmmaker Jyoti Mistry at Wits University. Her debut feature, Ayanda and the Mechanic, a coming-of-age story set in Johannesburg, earned her a nomination for Best Achievement in Script Writing at the 2016 South African Film and Television Awards (SAFTAs). Malone has since contributed to various projects, including Courting Anathi, Six In The City, Bangarang, and Time Spent With Cats Is Never Wasted.

In a community vibrant with migrants from across the African Continent, against the backdrop of unspoken love, a young woman tries to navigate a path for herself. But in this world, everything keeps shifting--everything except the one thing that actually needs to change. Ayanda and the Mechanic is a coming-of-age story of a 21-year-old Afro-hipsters who embarks on a journey of self-discovery trying to keep her father's memory alive, when she's thrown into a world of greasy overalls, gender stereotypes, and abandoned vintage cars in need of a young woman's re-inventive touch who tries to reclaim what would've been, what could've been.
