Anna Campbell discussed with LRM Online's Gig Patta about the musical drama Nora. The film makes its showcase at Cinequest 2025.
The journey of self discovery isn't always easy. Returning to her hometown after abandoning her music career, Nora finds it difficult to settle into the new demands of suburban motherhood. When her husband goes on tour and leaves her solo-parenting their precocious six-year-old, Nora is forced to evaluate hercurrent circumstances and the dreams she left behind.
A visceral portrait of a woman in rediscovery, Anna Campbell’s directorial debut expertly cuts together Nora’s musical imagination with her day-to-day responsibilities - interweaving vibrant fantasy sequences set to an upbeat indie rock soundtrack. Featuring performances by Campbell, Lesley Ann Warren, Kate Miner, Jay Walker, and Nick Fink as well as original music by The Airborne Toxic Event’s Noah Harmon, NORA is an honest look at the pressures created by modern motherhood and the tension between a
mother’s dreams and those she has for her family.
