Director Statement

Ann Craven: In the Moonlight is not just a portrait of an artist—it is an extension of her world, a film that moves in rhythm with her brushstrokes. From the quiet intimacy of her studio to the expansive night sky that inspires her nocturnes, this film captures the cyclical nature of her work, where memory, time, and nature continuously fold into one another. Rather than a traditional documentary, this piece is a collaboration—an immersive, visual conversation between Ann’s paintings and the act of creation itself.
