Anatasha Blakely is an Asian American writer, director, and actor who was born in Orem, Utah. A diligent autodidact, Anatasha began her filmmaking journey as an 8 year old sneak: creeping movies from her eldest brother's shelf and stifling her screams during the likes of Scream in order to avoid being caught watching rated R movies. After Alien, Pulp Fiction, Event Horizon and some awfully strange nightmares, she began to daydream and fish for her own ideas. She never stopped. Inch Thick, Knee Deep is one of those dreams. She studied at Southern Utah University receiving a BFA in Classical Acting and is also an alumna of iO West, The School for Theatre Creators, and Clown Church LA. Anatasha is part of a comedy duo, Buddy Puzzle, and a Los Angeles based improv ensemble called Stormchaser which hosts the podcast The Stormchaser Improv Podcast Show. Ask her anything, she wants to talk shop.
