Producer & Writer = Storyteller
I’m a storyteller, with a different color lens than you’ve seen.
For the past fifteen years, Minah (Worley) Oh has worked in the film industry as a producer, telling stories across various mediums. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Minah was the Associate Director of the Martha's Vineyard Film Society (MVFS), where she developed and programmed the first Women In Film Festival, featuring work by female directors. She also held the positions of Grant Writer and Youth Programming for the non-profit organization.
Before MVFS, Minah held a producing role at the MIT Open Documentary Lab (ODL). She worked with graduate students, technologists, scientists, and other colleagues internationally to explore new documentary forms, all focused on collaborative, interactive, and immersive storytelling.
Before joining MIT, Minah co-founded WorleyWorks (WW), a post-production studio in Brooklyn, NY. WorleyWorks' mission was to make cutting-edge post-production technology accessible to independent filmmakers. Within WW, Minah served as Executive Producer on film projects that premiered at festivals, including Sundance, Tribeca, Cannes, Toronto, and more. During her ten years of helping WW, she managed internal and external teams throughout the film development process, from pre-production through post, safeguarding each project's creative integrity.
Minah and her two children moved to Martha's Vineyard full-time in the fall of 2016, and in 2021, she was awarded a Warner Bros. Discovery 150 fellowship to direct her first feature. She has been inspired by writing original screenplays and is thrilled to be the Director of The Martha's Vineyard Film Festival since 2022.
