Maryann has been involved with the festival since its inception and spearheaded the Whāingaroa Film Society in 2006. An award-winning film and documentary maker, she won her first documentary award in 2008 with Nicholas Stevens – ARTIST at the Hamilton Disability Pride Film Festival. In 2009, Maryann was awarded the Women in Film & Television, followed by the 2009 Raglan Film Festival Short Drama Award for An Upside Down World and the 2010 Raglan Film Festival Documentary Award for Cool Summer Tour with Cornerstone Roots.
