Manila-born Ana Barredo has always been fascinated by Hollywood all her
life. She often brags that she learned to speak English watching
American TV shows growing up in the Philippines as a child. In 1986,
she immigrated to the US with her family - a huge step closer to her
lifelong dream of becoming a filmmaker. In 2001, she wrote, directed
and produced her first indie feature called A Real Job. Her $15K-budget
movie went on to gain glowing reviews, a Best Director nomination for a
2003 DVD Premiere Award and most importantly, a distribution deal with
Image Entertainment. She followed it up by her short The Plight of the Angelenos which screened in several film festivals such as the LA
Shorts Festival, Moodance Film Festival and the Oxnard Film Festival.
Barredo continued to work as a Special Features Producer for dozens of
DVD releases including the Twilight Zone Definitive Collection, where
she met Twilight Zone Companion author Marc Zicree.In 2009, Zicree
invited her to a meeting of a group he started called the Table.
Intrigued by this unique group, she decided to follow its members for a
year. In 2011, she completed the documentary entitled The Table.
