With over 20 years of experience in the film industry, I support creative professionals, executives and teams – from the initial idea to the premiere. As a filmmaker and business coach, I combine artistic vision with strategic experience and a human touch.
„Anna has the rare talent of getting to the heart of a project by asking specific questions. A few hours of her insightful advice have done more for me than weeks of pondering – so I already know who I'll be turning to for my next project!“ Niki Drozdowski, author and director
Process support
Creative processes, projects and careers need clarity, feedback and resonance. In a dialogue-based process – trusting, professional, individual – I support you in strengthening your approach, reflecting on professional roles and effectively implementing entrepreneurial projects. A particular focus of my work is supporting women and FLINTA in the media industry on their way to leadership roles. At the same time, I work with anyone who wants to shape their future with clarity, attitude and creativity.
Coaching
Are you facing a career change or would you like more clarity in your role? From two to eight sessions, I will accompany you in developing new perspectives, preparing decisions and shaping your next steps with courage and consistency. I work in a resource-oriented, systemic and creative way – with a focus on what gets you moving.
Mentoring
Are you developing a creative project, supervising a production or in the midst of an artistic process? As your mentor, I am at your side – offering content-related sparring, structured support and experience transfer. We create a space in which you can grow, clarify and shape your ideas.
Supervision
Would you like an outside perspective on your team dynamics, communication processes or work structures? In my supervision sessions, I support you and your team in revealing potential, clarifying challenges in an appreciative manner – and working together effectively.
Screenplay constellation
Are you working on a script and feel that the characters or structures are not quite right yet? In screenplay constellation, we make psychological connections visible and tangible – through role-playing in the room. A creative, often surprising tool that takes your development to new levels.
Then let's talk – openly, clearly, on equal terms. Book your free 20-minute Zoom call so that I can get to know your needs and make you a suitable offer.
„The coaching took place during a long walk in nature, which created a relaxed and natural atmosphere for conversation. During our conversations on the way, we analysed my starting point together and Anna asked many specific questions that encouraged me to reflect on myself. With her warm and motivating manner, she quickly gained my trust, and I was able to talk openly about my challenges. Anna's coaching strengthened my ability to listen better to my body signals and my intuition.“ Andrea Morf, Bern
Retreats
I design retreats as safe spaces for insight, creative practice and a genuine pause. Whether autobiographical writing, empowerment or resilience work: small groups create space for depth, humour, focus and encounter. Every retreat experience is unique – supported by stillness, exchange and professional guidance.
„Anna Ditges'‚Writing At The Sea‘ opened up a wide space for thought and reflection, in which I was able to further develop my film material. In a successful mix of group project discussions, writing time alone, individual coaching and walks along the autumnal Baltic Sea, my film idea was able to mature.“ Mirjam Leuze, filmmaker and author

Other things you can do: start the day with a group morning meditation, take a dip in the Baltic Sea, climb a lighthouse, roam through the forest, lie in a hammock, admire the sunset, read tarot cards, sit around the fire with others, try my fruit-infused Polish schnapps, gaze at the stars before going to bed.
We are up to six authors, trusting each other and sharing personal experiences in a safe space. Everyone has their own cosy room (a spacious double room) in the traditional Pomeranian wooden house Wild Rose Lubiatowo., which I designed. In a positive, collegial atmosphere, old barriers dissolve and new ideas emerge. An unforgettable week awaits you and your passion project. – Fancy the sea? It is important to me to get to know each participant personally in order to put together a harmonious group.
I teach with heart, attitude and craftsmanship – at the intersection of film, art and personal development. In my seminars and workshops, I combine creative methods with well-founded practice – whether in film education, biographical writing or coaching formats. For me, learning means creating spaces for development – individually, collectively, on an equal footing.

Tell your life story – allow inner peace and change through writing
In this comprehensive five-day educational leave, we use autobiographical writing as a path to inner peace, empathy and change. A process of change is set in motion. In a safe space, reflection, exchange and creative exercises promote a deeper connection to one's own history – as a basis for self-empowerment, new perspectives and genuine communication.
Educational leave | 23–27 March 2026 | five days with Anna Ditges and approx. 12 participants | Peace Education Centre Cologne
Das Machen von Filmen ist für mich auch ein Prozess der Persönlichkeitsentwicklung und Teilhabe. Deshalb initiiere und begleite ich Projekte wie dieses, die über die reine Produktion hinausgehen und Menschen ermächtigen, ihre eigene Stimme filmisch auszudrücken.
Der Workshop steht unter dem Label Gemeinsam Barrieren abbauen – Medienkompetenz für eine inklusivere Gesellschaft.

I teach film production and editing on a rotating basis, with the aim of teaching students how to independently develop and stage their own performances or artistic short films and realise them as a team using lightweight equipment. In editing, we work directly with the resulting material in the editing system and use it to create a coherent cinematic dramaturgy. It's about artistic self-empowerment, narrative thinking – and the joy of moving images.

„Anna helped me expand my dramaturgical skills so that I can now independently access professional workflows for material development. She took away my fear of failure and helped me recognise my strengths. The Travis Technique in particular helped me progress with my shoot. After an intense day of filming, my actors still felt fit and valued thanks to their active participation in character development. I will continue to work with the techniques I learned from Anna and stay in touch with her as my mentor.“ Max Martin Höfer, filmmaker

I simply enjoy being a sparring partner for others on an equal footing, someone I would have liked to have had or found myself at many key moments in my career. And I am grateful for the people who stand by me when I myself need inspiration, a sympathetic ear and trustworthy advice.
