Anastasia Murphy
A descendant of the Oglala Lakota Nation
Anastasia Murphy is a cinematographer and visual storyteller based in Chicago. She earned her BFA in Film and Television from Columbia College Chicago in 2023, specializing in cinematography. Initially pursuing illustration, Anastasia's creative path shifted after immersing herself in the college's film clubs. Wednesdays at the arthouse film club introduced her to the poetic realism of Agnès Varda, while Fridays with the cult cinema club sparked an appreciation for the provocative works of John Waters.
A descendant of the Oglala Lakota Nation, Anastasia brings a perspective grounded in her cultural background to her visual narratives. The Aunties marked her first professional film endeavor beyond academia.
