Annabel’s focus has always been on inclusivity. She invests energy in nourishing talent both on and off screen and works to build a connection with the audience through stories which explore what it is to be human.

She is interested in shining a light on social injustices through character lead story arcs, particularly the ‘Coming of Age’ genre. 

Annabel got her break in production working alongside Charlotte Wontner at Hopscotch Films in 2010, and from there she then went on to work for the BBC and BFI. Annabel has since produced nearly 20 shorts, music videos and commissioned content, with several short and feature length films currently in development.

Annabel trained at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama (BA Acting).
