FILMMAKER & STUNT PERFORMER

DEMI ANAIS is a genre-agnostic Writer, Director, Producer with a passion for creating immersive, character-driven films. 

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 a background extra on ’22 Jump Street’ (2014) and after graduating in 2017 from Tulane University with her Finance degree,  was lucky to get an opportunity to day play as a Production Assistant 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 outside of the Camera department to learn as a Director's Assistant on AMC's 'Interview with the Vampire' (2023). Being an Assistant afforded Demi the knowledge she needed to Direct again and that year she completed her short 'Vodou' (2023). That same year Demi  was also introduced to Stunt Performing and began to work as a Videographer to further hone her visual style.

In 2024, ‘Vodou’ selected for several film festivals including  Essence Film Festival, the Smithsonian Museum of African American History & Culture’s FORWARD Film Festival, and the New Orleans Film Festival. That very same year Demi also joined SAG-AFTRA as a Stunt Performer.

In 2025, was chosen to be a participant of the NAACP Cinematic Shorts Competition. Demi is also currently in the financing stage for her next independently produced film, a Sci-Fi short titled ‘Memory Walk’.
