Annabella is like a therapist for films. When I was struggling with the edit of my experimental feature film, Afterbirth, she talked me through what I was trying to do and gave honest responses to her experience of the film, identifying key places to home in and offering invaluable suggestions to achieve the best cut of the film.

Annabella is one of the best filmmakers I've ever met. With that, comes a serious gift for understanding story structure, character development, and rising action. Her feedback on my short films and feature length screenplays has improved the projects in every single conceivable way. She is one of the few fellow directors that I trust completely. And when she gives me a note, I know it needs to be prioritized. She is amazing!

I’ve turned to Schnabel Annabella for creative consultation on several occasions, especially when I needed a well-grounded external perspective during a project. She is a highly reliable professional whom I wholeheartedly recommend. I was especially grateful when she reviewed and gave feedback on a photography grant application of mine — having her professional insight was an invaluable support.

Oh, Bella is truly incredible… Beyond her versatility and talent, she’s a burst of energy with an inexhaustible creative force. She’s bold and daring, yet her thoughts are clear and well-considered. Her sense of humor is 10/10 — and she has a huge heart! I asked for her help with a grant application, and she listened attentively, generously sharing her own experiences. Not only was our conversation extremely helpful, it was also deeply inspiring — I genuinely felt that I could draw from Bella’s momentum and drive. (So much so that the whole thing ended in a winning application.)

Annabella was a great help in creating the pitch deck for my film presentation. With an inspiring visual sense, she confidently used Canva and various AI-based design tools to capture the mood and atmosphere of the project as effectively as possible. I recommend her to anyone looking for professional yet creative visual support for their film materials.

I’ve worked with Annabella several times — previously on album photography and concert recordings, and most recently I sought her advice for an art grant application. On every occasion, she has been a reliable, attentive, and inspiring collaborator. Her support and encouragement meant a great deal to me. She shows up as a true creative partner and contributes meaningfully to the development of projects with her versatile knowledge. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and sensitive artistic collaborator.
