Munara is an Uyghur-Canadian Writer + Filmmaker.

Hi, I’m Munara! An avid reader and cinephile since childhood, I have a deep love for storytelling and the entertainment industry.

As a writer and director, I’m especially drawn to female-centric stories that explore the intersections of social class, gender dynamics, and the diasporic experience. I also love anything historical, magical, folksy, and Gothic.

I’m currently working as a Production Manager for scripted TV at Lionsgate Canada. As a Jr. Production Executive, I navigate the moving parts of production with a focus on creative alignment, strategic execution, and a collaborative, people-first approach.
