About Anne
Anne is a Dutch filmmaker based in Los Angeles. She holds the MFA Film & TV Production from The University of Southern California (USC), where she was a recipient of the merit-based Jack Nicholson directing scholarship and The Fox Fellowship for the VFX in her thesis film.
Anne's short film, “Out of the smoke”, a fantasy film about a shapeshifting dragon, screened at American Pavillion’s NextGen Showcase at the Cannes film festival (2025) and the Oscar and BAFTA qualifying LA Shorts International Film Festival.
Her virtual thesis film Fuel Up, about a female race car driver, was shot mostly on an LED volume stage and incorporated both VFX and AI to make the race scenes possible on a student budget. It will screen at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival (American Pavilion Emerging Filmmaker Showcase).
Anne loves experimenting with new technologies in film and is a finalist in this year's Entertainment Technology Center (ETC) grant, an organisation founded with the help of George Lucas with the goal of bringing technology and entertainment visionaries together to collaborate on the future of entertainment technology.
