Sunny Mohajer

Discovering her love of stories and art at a young age led Sunny to pursue film in university, receiving a Bachelor's Degree at Capilano University in Vancouver and a Master's Degree in International Studies in Media, Power, and Diversity in Barcelona, Spain. She has been passionate about storytelling since a young age, finishing her first novel at the age of 9. Her love of storytelling combined with visual arts naturally led her to filmmaking.
