Anna had an amazing (and exhausting) few days this weekend shooting for the New York 48 hour film project competition. Staying awake for two days straight, Anna worked with an incredible team to direct a seven minute short film that was written, shot, edited and scored in just 48 hours. Epic.
This week Anna had the pleasure of directing two new short pieces for Ruddy Productions’ ‘Untapped Talents’ at the John DeSotelle Studio Theatre in Manhattan.
After an incredible few weeks of shooting, ‘Lily’ is now wrapped and headed for post production. Keep an eye out for more exciting updates soon!
Written and directed by Anna, the film is currently looking for funding with an aim to start shooting in early 2017.

This month Anna has been working as the Associate Director for the launch of independent media company, Matter Studios, with their event Matter presents: Total Power Move. Matter work with diverse, visionary, entrepreneurial voices to give them the financing and creative support to develop different media products under their own brands. Needless to say, it was an incredible night.
