Munara is an Uyghur-Canadian Writer + Filmmaker.

An avid reader and cinephile since childhood, I have a deep love for storytelling and the tenacity to attempt to make a living off it.

I’m drawn to women-centric stories; narratives that explore the strength of the human spirit, unravel the tangled threads of relationships, and explore themes of social class and gender. I also have an affinity for anything Magic Realism and Gothic.

I’m currently daydreaming, writing, and developing a slate of my own projects while working as a Production Manager for scripted TV at Lionsgate Canada.
