DEMI ANAIS is a New Orleans bred filmmaker with a passion for telling rich, character-driven stories that explore genre conventions. 

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) and 'Asking Amber' (2013). 

Demi began working as an extra and after graduating in 2017 from Tulane University with her Finance degree, she 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). 

This position allowed her to get a closer view of productions from prep to post and also introduced her to Stunt Work and Acting. Being a Director's Assistant afforded Demi the knowledge she needed to Direct  again and that year she completed her short film 'Vodou' (2023). Demi also began working as a Videographer to further hone her voice.

Currently, Demi is in preproduction with her fourth short film, 'Memory Walk', which is expected to begin production in 2024.
