Биография
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 resume 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 several 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 and is available on Amazon.com
Mora's current goal is to develop his scripts into feature films through his production company, Moras Productions, Inc. 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,limited, through AMC Theaters across the nation. The movie got release as well on cable VOD, Time Warner Cable and online VOD release in 2016. Mora became the first Puerto Rican producer to obtain a film distributed at AMC Theaters through AMC Independent. Moras Productions produced a comic book series called The Unearthians and it was released on July 17th, 2019 at San Diego Comic-Con. Their second feature film, Inside the Circle, was released in September 2021 Worldwide on VOD. Moras is also working on the updated version and making a hybrid novel-comic book of his story Ancient Explorers: The Lost City of Peru, originally published in 2013 and it'll be released in 2022.
Omar Mora is a proud member of SAG-AFTRA and the Producer's Guild Of America.
