Originally from Canada, director/producer Anne Stirling has been in New Mexico since 1990. As an
“Asker of Why” Anne loves documentary filmmaking. She has produced documentary shorts,
television shows, and the internationally screened feature documentary Why Get Married. In
Albuquerque she founded Friends of Film, Video and Arts, which connects indie filmmakers with
one another. She has also run for public office, and runs the Laugh Out Loud Funny Film
Festival. Her inquisitive mind gets her in trouble, but she continues to delve into issues – be they
sensitive, or just plain weird.
I think that people are meant to be in relationship...finding that balance between care of self and care of other is very rewarding, and I think we're meant to do that work.
