Demi Anais a New Orleans-born, genre-agnostic filmmaker with a passion for telling immersive, character-driven films.

Demi was introduced to filmmaking at The Willow High School in their four year Media Arts program. During the program she made two award winning shorts, 'What You See Is What You Get' (2012) and 'Asking Amber' (2013). 

In college, Demi worked as a Background Extra, and after graduating with her Finance Degree from Tulane University in 2017, began working as a Production Assistant. She eventually joined the Camera department in 2018 and IATSE Local 600 in 2021. 

Demi also became a Director's Assistant in 2022, an experience that propelled her into making her 3rd short 'Vodou' (2023). That year Demi also began working as both a Stunt Performer and a Videographer. 

In 2024, ‘Vodou’ was selected for Essence Film Festival, Smithsonian Museum’s FORWARD Film Festival, and the New Orleans Film Festival among others. The film was also showcased by BHERC at the WGA Theater on August 2026. 

In 2025, Demi participated in NAACP's Cinematic Shorts Competition through which she completed her 4th short film 'Borrowed Time’. That same year, the film won an Anthem Community Voice Award.

Currently, Demi is attending USC's School of Cinematic Arts where she continues to hone her voice as a filmmaker while she earns a MFA in Film & Television Production.
