About
Anastasia Silver is a filmmaker and director with a background in acting.
In 2024, a social short film based on her original idea, Infinity Pool, was produced in Croatia, in which she also participated as an actress. The film explores social media obsession and the endless cycle of imitation — how people monitor others' lives online, copy them, and lose connection with their own identities. Infinity Pool has received four awards, including Best Film, Best Director, and Best Acting Performance.
In 2025, Anastasia wrote and directed her short film The Old Man and His Cat, shot in Düsseldorf, Germany. The Old Man and His Cat is a quiet short film about aging and companionship. When the world slowly becomes smaller, an animal can become a person's entire universe.
For an elderly man living alone, his cat is not just a pet, but his closest friend — the one who waits, greets him, and shares every moment of the day. Through everyday routines and silent presence, the film shows how animals give meaning, comfort, and a sense of being needed, reminding us that love does not fade with age.
Anastasia is currently studying directing at the New York Film Academy, continuing to develop her authorial cinematic voice with a focus on intimate, human-centered storytelling.
