About Me

Kana Felix is a Filipina-American writer, director, and story analyst. She was born in New York City, and was raised internationally as a Third Culture Kid living in places like Nepal, Kenya, Morocco, Colombia, and Italy! 

In 2013 she graduated from NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study where she created her own concentration in Theorizing Comedy. 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 love of directing. 

Kana writes about humans having funny existential breakdowns, because she is one of them.

Her student short, Tabatha Jane Maxx, has screened as an official selection at Austin Spotlight, Detroit Shetown, and Portland Comedy Film Fests. Her original horror-comedy pilot, Final Cut, was a Sundance Episodic Lab 2nd rounder and a ScreenCraft TV Pilot Competition quarterfinalist in 2021.

In August 2018, she was one of 50 participants selected for the Telluride Film Festival Student Symposium, where she had intimate seminars with renowned directors like Werner Hertzog, Ken Burns, Hirokazu Kore-eda, Cristina Gallego and Ciro Guerra. She is currently in the Unlock Her Potential mentorship program learning from an executive at FX.

Kana also has 5 years of experience as a story analyst/script reader for top competitions and studios such as The Academy Nicholl, ViacomCBS Writers Mentoring Program, Final Draft Big Break, Alcon Entertainment, and Sugar23.
