My name is pronounced ‘Aneeta’. I am an Emmy-nominated Malaysian-British Creative Producer who has been working in documentary film and immersive storytelling since 2008. I work on projects that tell nonfiction stories in creative ways, whatever the medium.
I am currently Senior Producer at pioneering creative studio ScanLAB Projects where I have most recently produced FRAMERATE: Pulse of the Earth, a screen-based immersive installation featuring 3D time-lapse footage of environmental change. FRAMERATE has exhibited at Tribeca Festival, SXSW, La Biennale Venice International Film Festival, the BFI London Film Festival, TCCF Taipei, Elektron in Luxembourg and the PHI Centre in Montreal. I am currently producing FELIX’S ROOM, a documentary digital-theatrical production telling the true story of a Jewish couple’s experience in Nazi Germany. It’s an ambitious collaboration between ScanLAB, writer/director Adam Ganz (the great-grandson of the protagonist), the Berliner Ensemble, Komische Oper Berlin and Complicité.
Prior to joining ScanLAB, I was Lead Producer on Emmy-nominated VR experience, GOLIATH: PLAYING WITH REALITY, created by Anagram. GOLIATH is an animated, interactive VR documentary about schizophrenia and gaming, narrated by Tilda Swinton. It won the Grand Jury Prize at La Biennale Venice International Film Festival 2021.
From 2016 - 2019, I worked at The Guardian producing multiple award-winning VR experiences and an international documentary series.
I also have experience working on documentary and branded content films for The Economist, Dazed, Pulse Films, Archer's Mark, Channel 4, Engine and more.
I’ve worked closely with commissioners including Google, Meta, the British Film Institute, Sadler’s Wells, and the UNHCR.
I am comfortable working abroad and have filmed in Spain, Morocco, USA, India, Slovenia, France and Mexico. I have also given talks, delivered workshops and staged installations in Germany, Poland, Netherlands, Italy, the USA and Ireland.
Projects I’ve produced have been exhibited at La Biennale Venice International Film Festival, SXSW, BFI London Film Festival, HotDocs Toronto, Sheffield DocFest, CPH:Dox Copenhagen, Open City Docs Festival, PHI Centre Montreal, NY Media Centre, Future of Storytelling New York, Other Art Fair, DOK Leipzig, Raindance Film Festival, Bergen International Film Festival, Adelaide Film Festival etc.
