Welcome to my website!

My name is Anansya Latka, and I also go by Annie. I am a current Bachelor of Fine Arts student majoring in film and tv production at Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts.

During my time at Emerson, I have worked on multiple sets and have been a director/writer, executive producer, assistant director, camera operator, audio (boom and sound recordist), production assistant, and I have experience in a studio control room as a studio director, playback, teleprompter, technical director.

If I am not on set, I am usually working on scripts, reading, or exploring the city of Boston. I also enjoy traveling and photography in my free time.

You can see my projects and photography on this website, see my work experience and resume, and learn a little more about me.

Enjoy!

I have lived across three different countries and have seen countless more.

Being able to live among and see different cultures has cultivated my perception of the world and of me as a person.

I was born in India and was lucky to grow up in Singapore, a small island country in Southeast Asia, and to be able to see so much of the world from there.

Living in Tokyo has changed me as a person. I have seen so much and learnt so much about the world around me and now I get to live and learn as a filmmaker in Boston, Massachusetts.

I have always been taught to appreciate the different cultures that surround us because it is these differences that make us appreciate the people around us.

Looking back on these experiences, I am so grateful that they shaped my perception of the world, unlocked my ability to adapt to new environments and fueled my curiosity and thirst for knowledge. I am forever indebted to the memories and lessons that traveling and being able to live in different places has bestowed upon me, and I eagerly look forward to exploring more of the world in the future.

telling stories.

I have always found film and books to be an escape from the reality we live in. Which is why telling stories is a passion of mine.

I think being able to take control of my creative mind and write stories has helped me gain a better understanding of my place in this world. I love creating places and people, I love being able to go wherever I please through my writing, and I am so grateful that I can translate these stories into real films or short stories that I write in my free time.

I find making films therapeutic almost. Being behind a camera and being able to capture the beauty in front of me is so peaceful.
