Anna van der Velde is a Berlin- and NYC-based director and visual artist signed globally to Stink Films in December 2025 for commercials and music videos. Trained in fashion (BA, Amsterdam), she merges live action with CGI, VFX, 3D scanning, choreography and abstract movement. Her highest-profile brand film is the May 2025 Nike x THE FACE Berlin short for the Dn8 trainers campaign, starring DJ/producer Cora: a dreamlike, CG-enhanced piece with mirrored and suspended bodies set to techno, produced by Stink Berlin. Roster and signing coverage also credit Adidas, Numéro and Iris van Herpen—the 2022/23 Iris van Herpen project is one she cites as the first time she joined digital media with traditional film and a defining style beat. In July 2026 she directed Actress’s ‘Overchord’ for Ninja Tune through Stink Music & Special Projects, a frame-within-frame film on power and authorship built from production design, costume and VFX. PromoNews named her One to Watch (2026) and Pick of the Day for Overchord. Craft signatures across trade press: static yet charged compositions, untraditional framing, choreography as meaning, and heavy CG/live-action hybrids used to extend reality.
