History

Dana was involved in theatre and acting from a young age, attending Rockland Center for the Arts in West Nyack, NY. Her love of acting started because she was always drawn to the horror movie genre. As a child she first fell in love with it by discovering Halloween. She loved the scary shows on TV and would admire all the scary masks at the costume store in New York. Dana was in a gifted writers program in school and always had a big imagination. In class she would draw aliens, write about parallel universes and past lives, she was only 8 years old. She directed and produced movies for her middle school and high school projects as well as home movies she would write, direct and produce for her family and friends to watch. Dana moved to Los Angeles, CA in March 2019 to pursue acting professionally and has been working hard at it ever since. She started as an extra, moved on to commercials and is now pursuing a career in Film & Television. She also was a finalist in the Future Drifter Short Films Screenwriting Contest for a short sci-fi screenplay she wrote. Dana directed her first feature a metaphysical sci-fi thriller Reflect in late 2021 . Her interests lie in grounded sci-fi, horror and metaphysical sci-fi. She writes to represent the female perspective. Her influences are the Heroine's Journey by Maureen Murdock, Sacred Geometry, Mythology, and the topics listed above that she has intensely studied. Her overall message is that we are all connected and sentient from a cell to a tree to a human and have all the answers we need inside of us. She craves open endings and wants to show the world a true strong woman is someone who is vulnerable, one who burrows in those dark places and scratches her way out of the other side victorious. She aims to inspire young women and men to come together as a community and develop true connection.
