Anastasia Koch is a classically trained actress, filmmaker, director, and producer based in Atlanta, GA.

Born in Moscow, Russia, she first rose as a teenage pop sensation.

At 15, she was a finalist on Star Factory 4 (Russia's American Idol, millions of viewers). She joined Banda (with Timati, Dominique Joker, Ratmir Shishkov), releasing debut album New People, hits, and headlining post-Soviet arena tours (2004–2007) until Ratmir's tragic passing. Solo return: debut album "Ya ne ya" (2012), video by Fyodor Bondarchuk.

​

She then earned a BFA in Acting from VGIK (The Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography) and dual degrees from New York Film Academy  (BFA Acting for Film + MFA Filmmaking), fusing classical depth with American techniques.

​

As owner/founder of Anakofilm (Miami Beach/Atlanta), she produces commercials, music videos, and narrative shorts for over a decade ("Every Frame Matters"). Highlights include award-winning short Late Again Ana (2019), which she wrote/directed/produced  - Best Student Film (LAFA), Best Narrative Short (Festigious), Best Woman Filmmaker (Vegas).

Her pop charisma, training, and production savvy fuel versatile dramatic and multi-hyphenate work—from Moscow stages to Atlanta screens.
