Omar Mora

Born and raised in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, Mora first turned to medicine, studying to become a doctor in his homeland as well as Mexico. He then moved to New York City for his residency. It was after witnessing the tragedy of September 11th that he decided life was too short not to do everything you want, so he made the decision to begin pursuing his acting dream. While a medical resident in physical medicine and rehabilitation at Saint Vincent's Hospital, Mora was also a student in the two year program at The New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts. After finishing both, he made the decision to move to Los Angeles and continue with both careers. Since making the move, Mora has been building a solid resume in the independent film world. In 2012 Mora started his career as a writer. His desire and passion to get his stories out drove him to write six feature film scripts and in 2013 he wrote his first literary novel "Ancient Explorers: The Lost City of Peru" based on one of his film scripts. 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 and online VOD 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. His second feature film, Inside the Circle, will be released in 2021. Mora is also working on an updated version and making a hybrid novel / comic book of his story Ancient Explorers originally published in 2013.
