Monica enjoys the whole process. She loves telling stories by writing, directing, and acting, and enjoys sharing her knowledge with others. She has a children's program where she teaches acting and film making. She has produced several short films with her students that she has been able to share with children around the world at various film festivals. While she has done all genres, clever comedy is her favorite.
She loves directing and writing; and says that the stories just come to her, and play out like movies in her head. This is what happened with her award winning film, “20 Minutes”.
While driving late at night she says, “The whole story just appeared in my mind. I couldn’t get it out of my head for months". She was compelled to write it, and determined to produce the film; believing that the story would touch people; and hopefully inspire people to appreciate and believe
in the power of love. She likes to tell stories that have positive messages and will hopefully leave the viewer thinking more about it.
She has since directed several other shorts.
She is currently shooting a comedy mockumentary TV series ( ) and also developing a feature length horror film.
