Duana Taha

Ontario

Veteran TV writer and emerging director Duana Taha loves the overlapping worlds of YA, comedy, and just a *hint* of the supernatural. From years on shows like the legendary Degrassi: The Next Generation, Lost Girl, SurrealEstate, and BAFTA-winner The Next Step to creating her ownCSA-Award winning show 'Near or Far', Duana is most compelled by complicated families -- the ones we're born in and the ones we create -- and how bringing them to life onscreen makes all of us feel more seen.
