Honora is a writer and director originally from Virginia. From comedies to dramedies, thrillers to sci fi, her stories are united by biting humor and bold twists grounded by sensitive, relatable characters.

Of the shorts she’s written and directed, the comedy thriller “WE KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE” was an NBCU Short Film Festival Finalist, played at five Oscar Qualifying Film Festivals, and streamed on HULU. Satirical dramedy “FEMPIRE” played at AUSTIN FILM FESTIVAL, DANCES WITH FILMS, five other Oscar Qualifying Film Festivals, and was licensed by Gunpowder and Sky’s DUST.

If you couldn’t tell by those highly featured palm trees, she lives in Los Angeles, enjoys taking photos with her mom’s old/ film camera, and probably won’t correct you if you s7ay her name wrong. But for the record, the H is silent.
