David Mora Perea — Writer/Director/Producer
David was born in Mexico and immigrated with his family to Canada at the age of 16. He began acting in university theater while completing degrees in Physics and History, but soon, looking for new story-telling artforms, he found himself on-set for a variety of short films. First as an actor but soon after as producer and director, David has fallen in love with film as a medium to tell meaningful and impactful stories. What David loves the most about film however is that it takes a group of artists, rather than a single individual, to create a piece of art.
