Anna Gutto

Director, screenwriter and actor Anna Gutto has been working in theater and film since she was a child. She is known for A Light Above (2017), Mommy Heist (2016) and The Kangaroo (2012). She was born in Bærum, Norway, to artists Karin Eie and Guttorm Guttormsgaard. She spent her childhood years in her father's studio and her mother's pottery workshop. This provided her with an arts education from a young age, something that has come to the forefront in her work as a director. In her native Norway, Anna trained and collaborated with Scandinavian legends Jon Fosse, Stein Winge, and Academy Award-nominated director Petter Næss. In her early twenties, Anna moved to New York and became the Artistic Director of two theater companies. She launched 10 plays in 10 years with critical acclaim. Among other outlets, The New York Times described the work as "universally excellent." She consulted on three seasons of Boardwalk Empire and produced classical piano concerts at Carnegie Hall.
