In 2005, Anna was hired by a friend from college to
work for his startup, Cinital.
Cinital develops a hardware-software system called Previzion for real-time
filming in a virtual 3d world.
Previzion integrates live-action video with a 3d set in real-time,
allowing filmmakers to quickly create realistic cgi scenes. Anna programmed
in C++ for Cinital.
While working at Cinital, Anna decided to create Super
Indie Films, a site for independent filmmakers to sell their films
for download. To implement the site, she learned PHP, MySQL, XML and
SOAP. Other areas she studied for this site include video compression
and running a remote linux server. The site went online early in 2007
and is currently in alpha testing.
In addition to running Super Indie Films, Anna also
works part time for HingePoint
Software. HingePoint is the creator of ReFrame, a new programming
environment that is natively multi-threaded and networked.
Anna uses ReFrame to develop
applications both internally
and for HingePoint clients.
