Anna is a Polish American director/ actress. After graduating with a BA in Acting from the University of Southern California, she found herself wanting to pursue roles that were not being made. She started creating videos, but was unsatisfied with their quality and her lack of knowledge of filmmaking. Passion in learning of different cultures brought her to South Korea to continue acting, leading her to enroll in the MFA filmmaking program at Chung-Ang University. "Birdcage" is her first short film.
Mental health of artists is an issue close to my heart. I hope through "Birdcage" audiences will see not the "illness", but the individual.
