Anna Gunndís Guðmundsdóttir

Anna Gunndís is usually called Dunda by her closest circle of friends and family. She is studying filmmaking, writing and directing at the Graduate Film Department at New York University.

An actress, youngest of seven siblings, living in Brooklyn and sometimes I eat way too much chocolate.

Her husband's name is Einar and really wants a kitten. She wants two.

At the moment she am working at an ambitious short film called I Can't Be Seen Like this and she really wants you to see it!

The Icelandic filmmaker and actress grew up in rural Iceland and has worked as a professional actress in theater, film and television in Iceland and abroad. In 2013 she was nominated for best actress in a lead role by Eddan, the Icelandic Film Awards. She has worked in different capacities in writing, directing, producing and editing and most recently as an assistant to one of Iceland’s most well known editors Valdís Óskarsdóttir (The Celebration 1998, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 2004, Lost River 2014).

Anna is a Tisch School of the Arts Scholarship, Leo Rosner Foundation Scholarship and Leifur Eiriksson Foundation Scholarship recipient and now an MFA Candidate at NYU’s Graduate Film Program. She is currently developing I Can’t Be Seen Like This as her pre-thesis project.
