We connected across the pond with Anna Maria about her Tolkien-inspired Youtube series, Makers of Middle Earth.

Anna Maria hails from Houston, Texas and is an accomplished actor, artist, and human rights activist who’s been traversing lore and London for the past few years.

We discussed her budding yet popular Youtube series, Makers of Middle-Earth where she pulls back the curtain on the famed Lord of the Rings films and their creators and aficionados, what prompted her move from the States to London, and what a luxury it can be to create art from a place of relative ease and comfort, and ultimately, softness.
