Anny was personally chosen by Oscar winner Michael Moore to screen at his 2009 Traverse City Film Festival and to teach at Mike’s new film school in Michigan - which she did to rave reviews.
She was commissioned by Sony Pictures International to write, direct and produce her original animated BARNEY the White House Terrier series for Sony Pictures mobile network and sell through to TV. She has consulted on the European tour of the musical “The Merchants of Bollywood” and produced two TVc’s featuring BARNEY which aired to 30 million on Comcast in the lead up to the 2008 US elections. Her work has included freelance writer for the Australian TV sketch show COMEDY INC – The Late Shift.
The BARNEY series played at the Boston Comedy Festival alongside the comedy of Denis Leary and Lewis Black and played in Canada on the same bill as Gwyneth Paltrow’s directorial debut and an animation by Aardman Animation.
Her live action Australian political comedy THE BALL qualified for nomination in the best live action short category of the 2004 Academy Awards, was nominated for a United Nations Media Peace Prize and won a Christopher Wetzel comedy award from Chicago’s Gene Siskel Center. The film
has screened at more than 60 film festivals around the world and was sold to Australian TV and released on DVD in Europe.
Anny’s script The 7 Trials of Roman Pilgrim won its category as best screenplay at the Moondance International Film Festival and at the Disney-sponsored International Family Film Festival in Los Angeles. The film version is currently in post.
She has consulted to The Jim Henson Creature Shop, London and Musical Entertainment AG of Frankfurt, Germany on the international productions of “Pan The Musical”, “Bizarre The Musical” and “Noah’s Ark The Musical” as well as the production of Pope John Paul’s first internet broadcast. She was recently part of a select group of theatre directors chosen to direct plays at
the National Short & Sweet theatre festival in February 2010. Her play won a People’s Choice Award.
She directed and produced to rave reviews two Woody Allen one-act plays, “Death” and “God”, at Sydney’s Tom Mann Theatre. As a result of the success of the plays she was mentored through a WIFT mentor scheme with Mark Lazarus of Foxlcon, the then joint venture between Icon Productions and 20 Century Fox.
