Her first break was as the additional editor on the feature URBANIA. From there Ann went on to edit the critically acclaimed documentary series SENIOR YEAR for PBS.

Writing bios is never easy. That's why it is good to have a professional look it over, truncate, edit and punch it up a notch.
On this project, the GOD'S WAITING LIST press kit, I re-wrote the bios of everyone who was anyone on the cast and crew so that each would be similar in tone and size.
The disparity in content provided was vast. In some cases out dated bios, press clipping and resumes were included, others provided only the skimpiest of details hand written on a scrap of paper, which meant online research was conducted to fill in the blanks. From too much info, to not enough, putting it all together takes time and discretion.
