Portrait of Anna-Katharina Schubert
About

Independent Director & Production Designer

I am an independent German Director and Production Designer with a strong passion for visual storytelling. Bringing sensitivity and empathy into every project, I want to reveal the emotional layers of the human mind, our behaviour and relationships. I am drawn to raw and honest narratives that explore the complexity of psychology. Through a thoughtful visual approach, I aim to create intimate and artistic character studies to educate, to make us question and to make understanding our world a little easier.
