One Moorer Productions - James Moorer
After initially supporting at-risk youth in Hollywood as a social worker, Diana embarked on a journey of writing and producing film and television. Her firsthand encounters with incarcerated, runaway, and homeless adolescents fueled her passion for social justice. This commitment, coupled with her expertise in writing and production, led her to create the award-winning film Niña Quebrada, which dives into the realities of sex trafficking. Despite finding herself reliant on a wheelchair in 2018, Diana remained committed to her pursuit of creative expression. Transitioning into TV writing, she contributed to projects like CW’s 4400 and Freeform’s Good Trouble. She also wrote episodes of the web series, My Life is Worth Living.
With a BA in social work from Whittier College and an MFA from the American Film Institute, Diana's approach is evident in her work. She has garnered acclaim through various fellowships, including the PGA's Power of Diversity Master Workshop and as a semi-finalist in the highly competitive Disney Writing Program, demonstrating her commitment to inclusivity and empowerment. Currently, Diana has written a solo show based on her experiences as a 1st generation American born in Kansas. The show will debut in 2025. Beyond her career, Diana finds joy in swimming, comedy, and playing with her dogs.
