Forester was born and grew up in a remote farm in Ontario, Canada. When she was 7 years old, she was passionate to be a nun, but resisted such a calling after watching Julie Andrews's The Sound of Music. As a child, Forester hoped to become "the sort of princess who solved international crimes" until she became interested in synchronized swimming and, later, writing.

She studied and graduated from the University of Toronto.

After graduating, Forester's passion for storytelling led her to write and direct a short film for CBC. The Pony Tale was aired on Global Television and Forester moved to Los Angeles, California. Roger Corman, a famous independent film producer mentored her and gave the opportunity to write and later, direct her first feature film, Circuit Breaker, starring Richard Grieco and Corbin Bernsen.
