FILMMAKER & STUNT PERFORMER

DEMI ANAIS is a genre-agnostic Writer, Director, Producer with a passion for creating immersive, character-driven films. Aside from her own projects, Demi also works on sets as a SAG-AFTRA Stunt Performer.

Demi was formally introduced to filmmaking while attending The Willow High School. She was a student in their four year Media Arts program (2009 - 2013) through which she was introduced to Still Photography, Stop Motion, Documentary and Narrative filmmaking. During the program, Demi was able to make two award winning short films, 'What You See Is What You Get' (2012) & 'Asking Amber' (2013). 

Demi began working as an extra and, after graduating in 2017 from Tulane University with her Finance degree,  was lucky to get an opportunity to day play as a PA on 'Green Book' (2018). From there she began working in the Camera department and eventually joined IATSE Local 600 in 2021. After four years of set work and independent study, in 2022 Demi took a step away from the Camera department to learn as a Director's Assistant on AMC's 'Interview with the Vampire' (2023). 

Being an Assistant allowed her to get a closer view of productions from prep to post. It also afforded Demi the knowledge she needed to finally Direct again and that year she completed her short film 'Vodou' (2023). That same year Demi was also introduced to Stunt Work and began to work as a Videographer to further hone her voice and visual style. In 2024, Demi officially joined SAG-AFTRA as a Stunt Performer.

Currently, Demi is in the financing stage of development for her 4th short film, 'Memory Walk', and plans to begin pre-production in 2025. She is also simultaneously continuing her work as a Stunt Performer.
