Director Biography - David Ohnona

After a "lifetime" of aiding filmmakers with their visions, Ohnona has just completed his second short, PICKED. Shot and edited on his home island of Pender in British Columbia, Canada, the auteur-like film could only be realized with the exceptional performance of lead actress and songstress, Lauren Mann.

Director Statement

PICKED started as a songstress with an artistic dilemma, but quickly evolved into a story of a lost musical recording. Working with musicians brought authenticity to the vision, and nothing could have been more rewarding. It is hoped audiences will take Annie's journey home with them.
