Her favorite kinds of movies are ones set on trains.
Second favorite? Boarding schools. Then spaceships.
“I love the constraint. Working in a sandbox makes you limitless in a certain kind of way. You can paint all the way to the edge of that canvas. Also, what kind of person are you on a train? Train people can be anyone.”
Whether shooting on-location, writing a script for her next commercial, or building a world from her studio in Soho, Moriah uses her curiosity to explore the potential of different spaces and who we might be if we step into them.
Sometimes the most real truths are best grasped through fiction—a philosophy Moriah brings into the conceptual scenes she designs and captures through her lens.
“There’s something magnetic about truth framed in a combination of whimsy and authorship. Reality reconstructed. Sub-genres bending and blending. The bigness of childhood, the bittersweetness of finding out that things are smaller than that. Art is us as people, and I like stories that sit in the back of your mind on a Wednesday and help you be human in an indifferent world.”
Her eye for capturing life in a way that transcends the basic process of living has caught the eye of brands from Starbucks and Delta to Diageo and Remy Martin. Her engineering background gives her the ability to approach her projects from both a conceptual and logistical perspective, knowing how to visualize and execute all at once. Moriah’s creative partnerships begin long before shoot day; she brings art direction and script writing to the table to shape ideas and reimagine worlds in cinematic, immersive ways.
If you can’t reach her, she’s 100% seeing a movie. Or making a list of obscure noir films on Letterboxed. She’ll call you back right after.
