Check out director Anna Duckworth's valuable advice about how to break into directing music videos that she's shared here on TikTok.
In 2021 Anna was one of the three female directors paired with a musician to create a music video supported by the inaugural Equaliser (EQ) grant. Three project grants of $10,000 were available, in addition to access to mentors, crew, and technical equipment.
Anna and Lou'ana created the single Lost and Found; the music video has had over 8,000 views on Youtube alone, and the single has made its way into the Official NZ Music Chart's Top 10.
Anna was a panelist along with artists Reshma Martin and Abigail Knudson (also a producer) at an Auckland City of Music Equaliser event, part of the 2023 Official NZ Music Month Summit, held in collaboration with WIFT NZ.
