Anne-Sophie Bine is a Franco-Polish director and writer repped by 42mp.

Before obtaining her MFA in Directing from the American Film Institute, Anne-Sophie received a BA from Stanford University followed by an MA in Philosophy from Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.

She got her start in the film industry in London, working alongside Oscar-winning Production Designer Rick Heinrichs on Disney’s Pinocchio, then moved to New Zealand to work on Amazon's Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

Her work focuses on complex female protagonists making morally gray choices – especially those surrounding sexuality.
