Born in LA & raised in Singapore, Ana Chavez is a filmmaker & video artist. She holds a BA in Film from UC Santa Barbara, where she first explored storytelling through documentary editing.
In 2021, her short script Her and I won Best Screenplay at the Santa Barbara Film Festival’s 10-10-10 Program. The film screened at multiple regional festivals, picking up nominations for Best Comedy and Best Actress at the Official Latino Film Festival in Palm Springs. Ana was also awarded the Wavelength Grant in 2025.
Her hybrid approach to filmmaking is informed by her interest in the fluidity of identity, sexuality, and memory. She also enjoys filming on Super 8, & has documented for Living Earth, Leaving Records, A Club Called Rhonda, & dublab.
She is currently in post-production for Blush, a hybrid short film exploring the lives of teenagers growing up in Singapore.
