Creator to Creators Ep 25 Monica Suriyage

director-writer host Monica Suriyage

Monica spent most of her life thinking she would be a doctor, but then she realized she’s not a fan of blood unless it’s made of red dye and corn syrup. She switched her focus to movies and graduated with a degree in Film and Media Arts from Temple University. Monica’s mission as a director is to create content featuring diversity as second nature. She’s tired of seeing a character’s race or sexual identity contribute to their main conflict in a story. Zombies don’t discriminate about what flesh they’ll eat and she doesn’t either! Monica tends to sway towards horror/thriller and her stories feature women trying to survive larger than life situations. She hopes viewers have as much fun watching her films as she does making them.
