About
Muraya Moore is a writer and director who is passionate about telling unique and nuanced female stories, particularly those of Asian women. Her most recent short film Blood Sisters has been selected for SXSW Sydney, Brisbane International Film Festival and the Byron Bay Film Festival, where she was nominated for Young Australian Filmmaker of the Year. Her previous short films, Lemons and Prima, have garnered success at several film festivals across Australia, including the St Kilda Film Festival, Gold Coast Film Festival, Sydney Underground Film Festival and the West End Film Festival. She is currently in post-production for her next short, Hafu, inspired by her childhood growing up half-Japanese.
She recently directed and produced the interview series, Power Nadeshiko, funded by the Queensland Government. The series aims to empower Japanese women living in Queensland by educating on domestic violence awareness and support. She has also directed music videos for several local Brisbane artists. In 2022, Muraya was selected for the Queensland Talent Camp facilitated by AFTRS and Screen Queensland. Muraya enjoys working on projects that are close to her heart and hope they challenge audiences to interrogate who we are and the world around us.
