Pulse Films Signs Director Haley Elizabeth Anderson

Pulse Films has signed NYC-based filmmaker Haley Elizabeth Anderson (Pillars) to its talent roster.

In addition to her debut film Pillars, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January, Anderson’s short documentary If There Is Light was released on Hulu. She was also selected as one of Filmmaker Magazine’s “25 New Faces of Independent Film.” Most recently, Anderson directed a film for Hennessy and Droga5’s Unfinished Business initiative, released to accompany the brand’s new program that pledges $3 million for small businesses hit hardest by COVID-19.

Anderson commented: “I am very happy to be joining the Pulse Films family and look forward to growing, learning and working with the supportive people here. I’m so thankful for this opportunity to create more work and forge new collaborative relationships with like-minded artists in this next stage of my creative journey.”

Davud Karbassioun, global president of commercials and branded at Pulse Films, said: “Haley and I met at Sundance in January, where she was screening her film Pillars. It is such a beautiful piece—cinematic, authentic and artistic in equal measure. Haley’s work evokes a feeling that can’t be put into words. I am incredibly excited to see Haley’s story build as a filmmaker and Pulse Films are proud to be in her corner on that journey.”
