Biografia
Anabelle is an award-winning actress, writer, director, singer, producer, and C.E.O. of the film production company Blue Boots Entertainment that she operates in Los Angeles.
Anabelle credits her strong theatre background and classic literature's treasures as her most favored go-to inspiration as a filmmaker, and traditional Japanese, German, Greek, and British storytelling are at the heart of her work and versatile career. Munro describes her process as a re-discovery and re-invention of the historic story-lines in the content she writes gets presented with.
Anabelle's artistic focus is dedicated to purpose-driven filmmaking, like spreading awareness about recovery from addiction, healing, and discovering purpose and spirituality. Her 3 Book Series, "The Skeleton Key Series," focuses on sharing her own powerful story of healing.
Munro's directorial work in film explores the same deeply human topics. The Feature Film "Ole King Cole," written by her long-time collaborator and directing partner Del Weston, is a tour-de-force and of three broken people trying to cope and find an exit strategy to their troubles. A likewise powerful directorial work about the dark subject of eating disorders is the short "The Weight of Perfection," which Anabelle directed, co-wrote, and starred in next to Leanne Melissa Bishop with Hayden Hishaw, Wyatt Oleff, Merit Leighton, and Kelly Perine.
