Hi, I'm Anna!
​
I'm a director / producer / editor working in ritual design, live-streaming, and experimental film & theater.
Across Chicago, I've worked with companies like Blue in the Right Way, Digital Alliance, Red Tape Theatre, Organic Theater Company, GreatWorks, 2nd Story, Prop Theatre, Rhino Fest, BorderLight International Theatre Festival, About Face Theatre, Wender Collective, Shattered Globe Theatre, Goodman Theatre, and others. I'm an Artistic Associate with The Neo-Futurists, and the Creative Producer and Director of Livestream at Mishkan Chicago.
​
My work as been described as "expertly crafted" (Chicago Reader), "hauntingly contemporary" (NewCity Stage), and "funny, unexpected, melancholy and thoughtful" (Chicago Theater Review). In 2022, I was featured as one of The Fifty People Who Really Perform for Chicago in NewCity Stage, and was recently dubbed a "rising director-producer" in the Chicago Reader. In the fall of 2025, my short film Fortune Tellers won the Jury Award for Best Short at Chicago Short Film Festival.
​
I hold certificates from the Moscow Art Theater School and the Prague Film School, and am a proud graduate of Oberlin College, where I studied poetry.
