S8 E5: Anna Halberg's Journey from Horror to Hollywood and the Impact of Streaming

Join us as we embark on a fascinating exploration of careers within the film industry, with special guest, Anna Halberg: producer, writer, and director. Anna is a 38-year old, Minnesota born and raised woman, who majored in film and television at the School of Cinematic Arts at University of Southern California (USC). You can find one of her projects in THE TOP 4 on Netflix: Tarot, which she wrote, produced and directed. In this episode, we look into the horror movie creation process, inspired by a childhood memory of Anna’s, who shares how her passion for horror films was ignited. We uncover the creative process behind her PG-13 rated movie "Tarot," exploring its origins with Sony and Screen Gems, and the importance of understanding the audience in crafting horror. The conversation transitions to the broader landscape of the film industry, where Anna shares her experience of starting a production company right out of college and collaborating with industry giants, like Spielberg. We explore the rise of streaming services and their impact on film production. We also talk about her day to day, costuming within the film industry, and Anna’s self-identified super power.
