Josephine Anderson is an award-winning documentary filmmaker and writer based in Vancouver, BC. Josephine is the Co-Founder/Owner of Moosestash Films and is currently co-directing/producing The Sticking Place, an imaginative interactive web-based documentary following Canadian female wrestler Leah Callahan as she chases her Olympic dream.
She harbours an addiction to Radio Lab, enjoys a good dip into Blogotheque, and regularly joins Vancouver’s senior citizens at Aquafit. Don’t laugh. On a whim she recently picked up the cello, and in only a few short months has mastered several nursery rhymes.
More seriously, Josephine is committed to telling stories that make a positive difference by engaging people in fresh and meaningful discussion. In early 2011 Josephine was awarded “Best Director” by Nokia N8: Direct and Project for her short film Normal Design. She is an alumni of Berlinale Talent Campus 2011 and of DOXA Connexions 2010, a joint partnership between DOXA Documentary Film Festival and the National Film Board of Canada, where she made a short documentary called Love Life. Her first student film, The Janitor, was nominated for Labour Video of the Year (LabourStart), was an official selection for DC Labor FilmFest 2010, and was invited to screen at McMaster University. Her second film, Rain, has been televised on One World (Shaw TV) and was invited to screen at Capilano Film Series. Josephine has a B.A. in English Literature from UBC and graduated from Capilano University’s Documentary Film Production program.
