ABOUT ANNA WHITE:
Originally from Colorado and Northern California, Anna moved to Los Angeles to study screenwriting at Loyola Marymount University (class ’10). It was her internships at the writers offices for Smallville and the short lived Melrose Place remake that solidified her desire to pursue a career in TV/Film writing. She has worked as an assistant on many shows over the past decade including Charlie’s Angels, Touch, Nikita and Elementary. Her first paid and produced writing gig was a short film for Lifetime called The Ugly Christmas Sweater. The following year Anna wrote four full length TV movies, two for Hallmark (Christmas Wonderland, Christmas Made to Order), one for Lifetime (My Christmas Inn), and one for Ion (A Wedding for Christmas). Since then she’s written several more TV Holiday movies including Sister of the Bride, Staging Christmas, Christmas Hotel, Check Inn To Christmas, The Christmas Ring, The Christmas Edition, A Picture Perfect Holiday and Christmas CEO. She’s also written Lifetime cheerleader thrillers, The Secret Lives of Cheerleaders, Cheer Camp Killer and Killer Cheer Mom. Her most recent movie Butlers in Love premiered this year on Hallmark. Anna adores both writing and watching romantic comedies and thrillers. She is extremely grateful to have a career making her imagination tangible.
