So much fun!

Anastasia shot a Panasonic commercial, playing a mother who dreams up fun games for her family by making costumes for her kids and hubbie.
This commercial will be broadcast in Japan and other Asian markets.

Anastasia was invited to perform in a wild cabaret called "Filthy's Follies"
at a cool club in Echo Park.

The audience enjoyed her fun clown piece along with singing, dancing, comedy and other zany acts.

Busy, busy, busy!

Anastasia shot the lead female role in “Cherchez La Femme”, written and directed by Idit Dritz. Idit teaches Cinematography at Howard University and is an AFI grad.

Anastasia plays Rita, a woman dying of lung cancer who extracts revenge on her husband.

Idit, her crackerjack crew (all AFI alumni, now working professionally), and Anastasia’s wonderful co-star, David Bardeen (Yale-MFA, Acting) beautifully supported the intense emotional work the script demanded.

On the lighter side of summer, Anastasia shot a sketch comedy webisde called “Twinkle”, which pokes fun at the MTV series about blinged-out Sweet 16 birthday parties of the rich and famous. Anastasia also shot a print campaign for Suzanne Somer’s FaceMaster. Ms. Somers was lovely and gracious and the shoot was a huge success.
