Anita creates visually heightened story worlds, brought to life with authentic and captivating performances. She delights in taking a script and playing with its conceptual boundaries; fascinated with stylised and emotionally evocative imagery that exists beyond the realm of reality.
With a love for production design, art and choreographed movement, Anita’s work draws inspiration from the fantastical, the poetic and the things that make us human.
She prides herself in creating a fun and inclusive film set; believing that collaboration is key to the creation of the work.
Anita has directed commercials for brands Vodka Cruiser, Myer, Uniqlo, Qantas, Travelodge Hotels, Dulux and SBS.
Her debut short film Only One – funded by Screen NSW and Metro Screen – had its world premiere at the Palm Springs International Shortfest and went onto screen at the Rhode Island Film Festival, St Louis Film Festival and Miami Short Film Festival.
Her black comedy short film, Butter: A Love Story was awarded Special Mention of the Jury for Best Comedy for Australian Shorts at Flickerfest International Short Film Festival and is a semi finalist at the Cannes Indie Short Awards. Anita's films have also been frequently screened on Asia Nowness.
