Served as Director and Producer. Managed all aspects of pre-production, production and post.
“Hiring Annie is an absolute must should you need a documentary-style film. Annie has vision. She is a consummate perfectionist. She was collaborative from start to finish. Annie took our initial ideas and creatively shaped them into something quite unique. The technical staff used mutiple cameras to gather different view points and capture the unexpected. The editing was top notch. This was not your standrard, run of the mill Gala video with voiceover - the subjects themselves told their own story. Annie used caring, inquisitive conversation and humor to build trust and come to "know" the very essense of her subjects, Jack Jablonski, his family, and medical team. The crew was respectful and kind. All production aspects were managed professionally and on time. The final product went beyond our wildest expectations. The videos balanced the emotional and educational components needed to inform the audience to support the goals of the event. There was a flow that left you on the edge of your seat, waiting and wanting for more. It felt effortless and authentic.” - Colleen Sauter
For the love of it.
"I had the pleasure of witnessing Annie's rich talent in person while working on behalf of the Jack Jablonski Fund. Annie created a beautiful short film for a fundraiser gala that was truly stunning. I would recommend her to anyone." - Steve Peckham, Olson
"I had the pleasure of seeing Annie's extraordinary work on the film of an important member of our community. She is creative, hard working , patient and sensitive-a rare and powerful combination that showed in her film."
