Lora played a supporting role in the period drama The Lights Above. The year is 1942, and the entire city of Los Angeles is reeling from an air raid scare where 1,400 anti-aircraft rounds were shot at an unidentified object in the sky. A team of journalists work to uncover the truth behind what appears to be a government cover-up during the height of World War II. Based on the true events of what is now known as "The Battle of Los Angeles," Luke J. Salewski's USC Master's Thesis premiered to a warm reception, praised for its cinematic, Spielbergian style.
