"Why I Tell Stories"

Nora Stock is a Los Angeles-based filmmaker with a BA in Theatre & New Media and Digital Media and Video Production from Marymount Manhattan College, where she received the Gold Key Award for excellence in her academic field. Her film, "Ecstasy Behind the Forgotten," premiered at the Big Apple Film Festival and the TCL Chinese Theatre.  The film won awards such as Production Excellence and Best Student Short. 

Nora's favorite part about storytelling is relaying to an audience exactly how she sees the world, frame by frame, with a hyper-realistic lens. Nora enjoys finding commonalities with characters and storylines that differ greatly from her own life experiences and values. Nora relishes the intricacies of ambiguous characters and has committed herself to exploring the unanswerable question: “Why do people act the way that they do?”
