TESTIMONIALS

Daniel Forman-Director and ESFF Founder/Director

Guy Lavallee- Festival Director NorthWest Film Festival

Nancy Tunstall Director She Could Be You

"Anna worked well with everyone and built meaningful relationships. She was inclusive and collaborative in all regards. Director J. Miles Dale and his team commented on Anna’s professionalism and standout personality as well as her mentor Paul Barkin. Anna's leadership skills have fostered collaboration among different artists within the city. Supporting Anna not only recognizes her outstanding contributions but also champions diversity and empowerment in our community. As a woman excelling in multiple fields - writing, producing, acting, and now entrepreneurship - Anna serves as a role model and inspiration to many, especially young women aspiring to pursue similar paths. I cast her in my feature Abducted because she is talented and dedicated actress."

"This moving and timely film is told from a strong female perspective, and really ‘packs a punch’ for audiences. The screening was followed by an engaging Q&A session with Anna Primiani, which allowed the audience to experience firsthand her passion, creative process, and genuine connection with the material. Anna’s commitment to storytelling and collaboration is abundantly evident in the completed film’s overall quality and emotional impact."

"She's a phenomenal person. Anna is an editors dream. Anna raised the bar for everyone else and she elevated everyone else. She can portray emotions- she can light up a room or bring you to tears. She inspired everyone on set. It was an incredible experience to work with someone as incredible as Anna."

“The only thing worth writing about, is the human heart in conflict with itself.”
- W. Faulkner

With each role I take on, my goal is to connect with audiences and draw them into the story through my performance. Every character I play, has a story and I am privileged to give them a voice.

Although I’ve been working professionally as an actress since 2010, my passion for acting began much earlier. I’m always eager to explore new characters, keep training, and express myself through writing.

As a screenwriter, I draw on my own experiences, studying character and stories from the heart, about the heart and the conflict within to create original scripts.

Never stop learning, never stop growing and whatever they may be, never surrender dreams!
