Anna G. Martins
- Casting Department
- Producer
Anna G. Martins (née Goncalves) was born in Boston, Massachusetts. She is a global strategist, writer, casting director, and producer that runs Projects by AG - a consultancy that combines her diverse interests in how stories are and can be told. For Anna, the concept of 'storytelling' came in the form of writing stories as a young student in the Boston Public School system. The love for stories then solidified when she was introduced to independent films as a recent college graduate, where she put her branding, public relations, and marketing skills to work at film festivals to promote films to diverse audiences. It was while watching and promoting films - and engaging with talent, directors, producers, and audience members of various cultures - that Anna began to understand that art can only come alive in its truest form and have the greatest impact possible if the writing is powerful and if the right talent represents the writing. She was fascinated by what art, creativity, and people could do together. Today, as an avid storyteller, Anna strives to effectively communicate stories to captivate people worldwide.
