Anastasia Palchikova was one of the most sought-after screenwriters and showrunners in Russia, and one of the most prominent Russian directors. Anastasia was awarded the Best Screenwriter Award by the Russian Film Academy for her film BOLSHOY, which revolves around a ballerina vying for a place at the Bolshoy Theatre. She also received a nomination for Best Screenplay for her dramedy HER NAME WAS MUMU, based on the true story of a young woman sent to discredit and expose prominent oppositionists of the government.

Anastasia's feature directorial debut was her semi-autobiographical film MASHA, a coming-of-age drama about a girl growing up in the Russian mob who dreams of becoming a jazz singer.

She is now a permanent resident of London, developing British and international projects.
