About Anna
I bring a rare mix of psychology, anthropology, and documentary film practice, helping students not only develop technical skills but - most importantly - connect emotionally and intellectually with their material. I focus on creating a safe, reflective space where your voice and perspective can emerge naturally.

I believe documentary begins with noticing — the ability to look closely at everyday life and discover meaning in ordinary moments. My role as a tutor is to help you slow down, observe, and translate your experiences into film.
My teaching combines creative guidance with practical structure. Together, we explore:
- How to find your subject or idea — starting from emotion, topic, or observation.
- Simple production planning — what you need, what you don’t, and how to make the most of what you have.
- Capturing footage - how to 'listen' with your camera
- Finding your own style - looking at what's possible and where you can find inspiration.
Lessons are a mix of conversation, creative prompts, and feedback on your footage or ideas. No prior experience is needed — we can work with whatever equipment you have, even just a phone.
My lessons are ideal for beginners and enthusiasts who want to start making personal or observational documentaries and anyone going through change or seeking self-expression through film.

Anna has a great ability to see what is special in what may seem ordinary. This comes from her well rounded background in psychology and anthropology, that gives her exercises with the camera purpose and allows her to specifically compose an image to tell a story.
