My name is Anna, I'm a freelance videographer, camera assistant, and editor in Denver. My background is in journalism. Working creatively to connect people, share what's important and uncover solutions — I'm here for it. Some of my most animated moments in journalism happened while working in Washington, D.C., creating short documentary style content covering social justice issues. I solved problems in the field to turn content on same-day deadlines, and developed longer projects. I've also taken on roles on teams as an assistant camera, production assistant, videographer, and editor. I enjoy learning more about various types of productions from commercial to narrative. My longterm goal is to grow in cinematography and editing and work on a documentary team, because what I really enjoy is collaboration and learning from creators around me.
