BIOGRAPHY

Alana is a writer/director based in Montreal. After a stint on the New York indie scene, Alana cut her teeth in Montreal’s film industry, working as a location manager and scout, with such internationally renowned directors as: Steven Spielberg, Denys Arcand, Frank Oz, Todd Haynes & François Girard. After learning all she could from the pros, she then moved on towards her passion: writing and directing.

Alana’s work includes the musical comedy The Perfect Vacuum  (starring opera star Natalie Choquette) for Bravofact and Julia Julep, the first of a fantastical children’s triptych that will be shot in 2010.
