Anna Lesmes

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with telling stories. Not just writing short stories, but mostly making amateur short films. I turned my mom’s dinner prep into a fictional cooking show, and filmed my cat as an evil villain plotting world domination, all while filling notebooks with storyboards for my next project.

This creative process brought me joy, and allowed my imagination to come alive.

I turned my mom’s dinner prep into a fictional cooking show, and filmed my cat as an evil villain plotting world domination, all while filling notebooks with storyboards for my next project. This creative process brought me joy, and allowed my imagination to come alive.

Today, my instinct to build worlds and make meaning through media is still as prevalent as ever, and has only grown stronger over time. As a senior at the University of Vermont, majoring in Film & Television, with a minor in Public Communication, I’m continuing to explore how stories can inform, connect, and inspire.

I thrive in environments where creativity meets problem-solving. Whether it’s shaping a narrative with limited footage, translating complex information into clear messages, or working on a tight deadline, I approach challenges with curiosity, adaptability, and intention. I value strong communication and teamwork, and I collaborate and share ideas with the people around me.

My experience spans videography, editing, journalism, radio journalism, social media management, and working on student production sets. Across formats and platforms, my goal remains the same: to tell thoughtful, engaging stories that resonate with audiences everywhere.
