hi! I’m Annelise, a Senior Integrated Creative Producer based in Chicago with a decade of experience bridging the gap between ambitious creative and technical execution. My career began in the edit suite at Columbia College Chicago, where I cut my teeth as a "technical guru" in post-production. That foundational understanding of the "final frame" allows me to reverse-engineer complex productions from day one.

From managing crews of 40+ on national broadcast sets to building in-house studio capabilities from the ground up, I specialize in navigating the friction between budget, schedule, and creative vision. I’m highly fluent across the full production pipeline—bidding, business affairs, vendor negotiation, union and non-union talent management, and post-production oversight. Having moved across agency, studio, and post environments, I speak the language of directors, VFX artists, and developers alike—ensuring that no matter the scale, the work is delivered with integrity.

I also bring a strong understanding of how the Illinois film tax incentive can be leveraged, helping brands benefit from filming locally to maximize both budget efficiency and production value.
