A N A S TA S I A M A S A R O has spent over twenty years working in the Art Department for film. She grew up in Toronto, the child of Italian immigrant parents. Her father instilled in her, at a very young age, a love of movies and travel. When she wasn't in a movie theater or on a trip to a foreign city, she was in front of a television devouring old movies by Jean-Luc Godard and Roger Corman. Those early introductions to art, architecture and cinema shaped her earliest visuals and inspire her present ones. She has worked with some of today's most stylized creators, including Anton Corbijn, Andy Muschietti, Jason Reitman and twice with Terry Gilliam. She has been nominated for Oscar, BAFTA, ADG awards and won an MTV VMA for the black-and-white avant- garde Reflektor video for Arcade Fire. She currently resides in Toronto, works everywhere else, travels as much as possible and tries to get everything done before noon.
