This fall, I joined the Partnerships & Advertising team at the 62nd New York Film Festival as a Seasonal Associate. In this role, I supported the coordination, activation, and wrap of all corporate packages with partners including Criterion, HBO, MUBI, and Rolex. Previously, I assisted the Social Media team at Playbill during the 2023-2024 theatrical season by covering press events and opening night red carpets on their Instagram and TikTok accounts. In addition, I served as Executive Assistant and Content Producer for refashion designer and sustainable fashion advocate Kate McGuire in which I helped develop the digital presence of her brand, facilitate collaborations with And Just Like That (HBO), The Today Show (NBC), and the United Nations, and grow her Instagram account to 200k+ followers.

Although I have always been drawn to the creative–from film, to photography, to theater, to fashion–I am a problem solver with an intense organizational ethos at heart. Growing up, I was a math and science kid, and I began my undergraduate journey at Tufts University with an intended major in Computer Science. That changed, however, after I took an introductory filmmaking course during my first semester, and decided to pursue a degree in Film and Media Studies. I realized that I could take my strategic, analytical mindset out of the box and combine it with my passions in order to drive creativity, orchestrate collaboration, and help bring stories to life.

Beyond my professional background, I enjoy capturing, creating, and sharing in many forms. When I’m not working on projects, you can find me exploring New York City with my camera, logging movies on Letterboxd, curating unique Spotify playlists, making humorous TikToks, or recording clips for my 1 Second Everyday video project. I am always looking to connect with new faces, places, and experiences, and can be reached by email at anasophiaacosta@gmail.com with any inquiries.
