About

Kana Felix is a Filipina-American comedy writer/director, and script reader. She was born in NYC, and was raised internationally, as a Third Culture Kid living in countries like Italy, Nepal, Kenya, and Morocco.  

Her horror-comedy pilot, Final Cut, was a Second Rounder in The Sundance Episodic Lab and a Quarterfinalist in Screencraft’s TV Pilot competition. Her student short, Tabatha Jane Maxx, was an official selection at the Austin Spotlight Film Fest, Detroit Shetown Film Fest, and the Portland Comedy Film Fest.

In 2018, she was one of 50 participants selected for the Telluride Film Festival Student Symposium, where she attended intimate seminars with renowned directors like Werner Hertzog and Hirokazu Kore-eda.

Kana aims to create film and TV which showcase complex, diverse, and funny women of color characters—the ones she never saw growing up. 

She is currently a script reader for The Academy Nicholl, CBS Writers Mentoring Program, The PAGE Awards, and Final Draft Big Break.

In 2013 she graduated from NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study where she created a concentration in Theorizing Comedy, fulfilling her parents dreams of raising a #CrazyBrokeAsian. After, she attended “comedy grad school,” at The Second City Film School. It was there that she crystallized her love of screenwriting, and  discovered her new love of directing. 

If Kana could have one wish, it would be to have her memory erased Men In Black-style so she could re-watch The Office (American version—USA! USA!) in all it’s glory.
