Ms. Namita Nayyar: You have been associated and founder of the registered charity Wilding Foundation. In February 2011 you started an emergency relief fund-raising appeal for victims of the Christchurch earthquake. You returned to NZ to work on the ground voluntarily for the charity over a year, this charity has been dear to your heart, tell us how you have been able to achieve and quench your thirst of giving back to the society through this endeavor of your?
Ms. Anna Wilding: I founded my charity Wilding Foundation just before the New Zealand earthquakes and I raised money and gave it out to those in need. Life is all encompassing and we have to be thankful and grateful for everything we have and/or are given. I live my life in gratitude and at awe at the beauty in the world. I am incredibly touched by the goodness in humanity when I see it in play. No matter how you help people, or tell your story or other stories, it doesn’t really matter so long it is for the good in the world .
Anyhow, that’s just me. And who I am. Other girls when they were 4 years old in class ,drew pictures of what they wanted to be when they grew up. They ALL, every single one, drew princesses in carriages. I drew the world -the globe with trees on it and said I wanted to save the world. I also had and do have a thing for trees. No one person can save the world, but we can all help. If that’s what we want to do. It’s what I want to do and there are many different ways to do it in life. It doesn’t have to be art , or sciences, or fashion. it can be anything. Everyone has different motivations. Happy people make a happy world.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: In 2008 you were declared as one of only 100 women Directors who had a feature length film run “formally” in cinemas – for more than seven days. Tell us about this achievement of yours?
Ms. Anna Wilding: Yes Buddha Wild ran for a combined total of 60 days in cinemas. This research came out at around 2010 I think it was
Ms. Namita Nayyar: Who has been your inspiration and motivation that led you to your success in the world of acting, directing, writing, producing, editing and being a cinematographer?
Ms. Anna Wilding: The world! The universe. The wonders of humanity, I was bought up on a steady diet of French films. I was first inspired by wanting to tell the stories of Africa, and then the Amazon. As for cinematography, or camera operator. that has often just happened by default. but as I am quite specific in style and its sometimes easier and more expedient I do it myself, but having said that I have worked with some great cinematographers and would gladly do so again. Especially on bigger movies. I am in awe of some of the cinematographers- especially the old school ones who know their craft well. I think with photography you either have an eye or don’t, though technical side can be taught.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: With exceptional hard work you are credited with all your achievements. Do you believe that does the hand of Providence (Supreme Being) played a role in your success?
Ms. Anna Wilding: That is a great question. I think there is good in all religions. all religions say in essence, at their heart, be kind to others. Do good to one another. I think its good to believe in something greater than ourselves outside of ourselves. Whether it is a Supreme Being or the universe or Mother Nature. I think anyone in tune with the universe or themselves or those around them, knows there is something greater than any one of us. It’s important to be good to one another and not harm one another.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: You founded the skincare line Kalon Skincare “Anna’s Pocket Bee Venom Vitality Cream Mask” using pure New Zealand bee venom. The skincare was named # 1 Hottest New Beauty Product in America on Amazon. Elaborate about this endeavor of yours?
Ms. Anna Wilding: This was exciting for me and fun. It has been a joy to get emails in to say how much Kalon helped people with their skin. I never though or knew I would help people in that way .Its a wonderful product and I stand behind it.
