About

Mahnoor Euceph is a writer and director from Los Angeles.

She graduated Summa Cum Laude from UCLA, with a major in Design | Media Arts and a minor in Film, TV, and Digital Media, and received her Master’s of Fine Arts from USC’s School of Cinematic Arts in Film and Television Production.

Her debut, a short film called Eid Mubarak, was predicted by Variety to be nominated for Best Live Action Short Film at the 96th Academy Awards, and went on to be longlisted for the honor as one of 187 films worldwide.

In 2024, Mahnoor was selected for Proof of Concept, an accelerator program by Cate Blanchett, Coco Francini, and Dr. Stacy L. Smith, by a committee that included Greta Gerwig, Lilly Wachowski, Chloé Zhao, Emma Corrin, Eva Longoria, Jane Campion, Janicza Bravo, and Lily Gladstone. She was also selected for the prestigious Pillars Artist Fellowship by Pillars in partnership with Riz Ahmed and Left Handed Films.

Mahnoor is interested in exploring entertaining stories about the South Asian diaspora through the female gaze, stories that seek to decolonize minds, encourage radical self-love, and make you laugh. 

She is currently in development on her feature Brown Girl.
