WRITER & DIRECTOR
PRESS
CLASS OF '07
"For Anning, who directed The Other Guy in Australia before being chosen by US comedy legend Greg Daniels to direct a couple of episodes of his comedy Upload, the streaming services [like Amazon] allow young Australian creatives to stay in the country and create more aspirational work." - Louise Rugendyke, SYDNEY MORNING HERALD
UPLOAD
"When Kacie Anning met Greg Daniels, creator of the US version of The Office, over breakfast in Los Angeles he discussed a futuristic comedy series he was developing. Several months later, Daniels made her the biggest offer of her career: direct two episodes of Upload, which had been commissioned by Amazon Prime Video." - Don Groves, IF MAGAZINE
"Making Greg Daniels giggle has been one of the highlights of my career." - FILM INK MAGAZINE
THE OTHER GUY
"Much praise goes to director Kacie Anning who infuses the scenes with nuanced authenticity, artful photography and is happy to draw upon subtext." - David Knox, TV TONIGHT
"In showcasing the specific fecklessness of life as an inner-city twentysomething, The Other Guy rings with an authenticity that makes the show’s messiness irresistible. If this truly is millennial life, Okine and co. make it appear shabbily charming." - Matilda Dixon-Smith, JUNKEE.COM

MINISTER FOR MEN
"Just so many kinds of perfect. A totally on-point take-down of Tony Abbott." - Meg Watson, JUNKEE
