Anna Hughes

Keepers

2022 First Look Project - Runner-up (TV (Half-hour))

Anna Hughes is a writer and performer from the coast of North Carolina. A lifelong fan of sketch comedy and half-hour sitcoms, Anna’s work follows big characters in bizarre worlds. In addition to writing larger-than-life women, Anna loves to play them as well. She can be seen performing with The Groundlings Sunday Company in 2023.

In recent years, Anna has worked as a Writers’ Assistant (Apple TV+), Showrunner’s Assistant (Netflix) and Development Assistant (Fox). That being said, she knows the Mendocino Farms menu like the back of her hand.

Anna graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill where she double-majored in Dramatic Art and Communication Studies, and minored in Writing for the Screen and Stage. This is her first time placing in anything, and she thinks that’s very cool.
