Munara is an Uyghur-Canadian Writer, Director, and Producer.

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 minority and female-centric stories, narratives that explore the strength and depth of the human spirit, that unravel the tangled threads of human relationships - complicated families, fatalistic romances, flawed (anti)heroes, relentless underdogs, connections that form under unusual circumstances…

I’m currently developing a slate of my own projects while working as a Production Coordinator for scripted series and film at Lionsgate Canada.
