Omar Mora: Born and raised in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, Omar Mora first turned to a career in medicine, studying to become a doctor in his homeland as well as in Mexico. He then moved to New York City for his medical residency. It was after witnessing the tragedy of September 11th that he decided life was too short not to do everything he wanted, so he decided to pursue his dream of acting.
While a resident in physical medicine and rehabilitation at Saint Vincent’s Hospital in New York, Mora enrolled as a student in the two-year acting program at The New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts. After finishing both, he moved to Los Angeles to continue both careers. Since relocating, Mora has been building a solid résumé in the independent film world.
In 2012, Mora added writing to his career ambitions. His desire and passion to have audiences know his stories fueled him to write eight feature film scripts and, in 2013, he wrote his first literary novel, Ancient Explorers: The Lost City of Peru, which is based on one of his film scripts.
In 2013 Mora created his company Moras Productions, Inc., with the goal to develop his scripts into feature films, TV series and Comic Book series. The company’s first short film, A Busy Mind, was distributed by PBS in 2014, and its first feature film, 30 Days with My Brother had a Theatrical release in 2016. It was distributed by AMC Theaters through the AMC Independent program.The film was also released on cable and online VOD, including Amazon Prime. At this moment Mora, through his company, is going to launch his first comic book series The Unearthians on July, 17, 2019. This will be a 12 issues comic book series. They are also in post-production of their second independent feature film Inside the Circle and the expected release is in 2020.
