Episode 4- Filmographeropher, Writer and Director, Annie Martin
Annie does things a little bit differently! She created her job from things she enjoys, so rather than a normal 9-5 she has a portfolio career. She is a filmmaker writing and directing for commercial, documentary and online content production. Originally from Devon, she moved to London four years ago where she studied BA Film Practice at the University of the Arts London. Annie graduated with her final film “Hers To Take“, a fantastic documentary exploring risk taking in women’s adventure sport. It gained multiple entries and awards at international film festivals, as well as being broadcast by Lionsgate on network TV in the US.
After graduating in July 2019 Annie began work as a writer/director for a small production company where she creatively oversees projects and lends a hand with shooting and editing.
But that’s not all – Annie founded Bouldering DabRats, a climbing youtube channel aimed at women, which has gained 30k followers and over 1 million views in the two and a half years since its beginnings. She is also the co-founder of Beta Magazine, an online zine focusing on wider representation in climbing particularly by championing female achievement and contribution.
Annie spoke about how you go from being unsure about what you want to do, to doing something you really enjoy. WATCH HERE
