Today we’d like to introduce you to Anna Oris
Hi Anna, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I began my journey in the entertainment industry 20 years ago. Creativity in all its forms has always captured my attention: acting, art, singing, modeling, and more. In 2019, I took a leap of faith and moved from Russia to the USA to continue pursuing my career.
I must admit, despite global challenges and instability, and all the difficulties and tough moments along the way, since my move, I’ve managed to act in over eight films (I just returned from the premiere of one feature film “Karaganda” in New York), two TV series, over 100 commercial and modeling projects, more than three music videos, and even won a beauty pageant. I was also featured on the cover of “Living Brentwood” magazine as a successful woman in the entertainment business.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Today, I’d like to discuss the role of influencers in the entertainment business and how digital influencers are blurring the lines between traditional entertainment and new media. About three to four years ago, Instagram and influencing became a significant part of my life, my career, and my self-promotion.
In the past, actors, models, and entertainers relied heavily on agents, casting directors, and production companies to gain visibility and secure work. However, with the rise of social media platforms, especially Instagram, creators now have a direct line to their audience. This shift has not only given entertainers more control over their image and brand but has also opened up new opportunities for collaboration and growth.
Being an influencer allows me to connect directly with my audience, showcase my personal style, share behind-the-scenes moments, and highlight my work in real-time. It’s not just about promoting products; it’s about building a community and sharing a lifestyle that resonates with people globally. For someone in the entertainment industry, this digital presence has become crucial. Brands and casting agents now look at an influencer’s engagement and reach as much as their acting portfolio or modeling experience.
I think influencing opens a lot of doors to new opportunities and different worlds. Nowadays, casting directors, producers, and filmmakers look not only at your acting skills, talent, and appearance but also at your follower count and their engagement. If an actor or actress has a huge following and strong engagement, it’s a big advantage for promoting a film, TV show, or other media project. Not to mention, vertical mini-series are becoming increasingly popular. This is the next step in the entertainment business, which is quickly gaining traction.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I am Anna Oris, a multi-individual embodying various roles within the entertainment industry. As an actress, model, influencer, producer, philanthropist, singer, TV host, and single mother, I embrace a healthy and creative lifestyle. I draw inspiration from people, good music, movies, books, the ocean, weather, sunshine, art, architecture, classical concerts, love, and charity, finding beauty in everyday life.
With two decades of experience in the entertainment business, I am a seasoned professional who exudes humility, strength, kindness, and power. My journey has led me to appear in over 55 TV shows, showcasing my versatility and talent. Five years ago, I took a bold step by moving to the USA, where I have already made my mark by acting in eight films and three TV shows.
My achievements extend beyond my professional career. I hold several beauty pageant titles, including the prestigious Mrs. Russia International 2015, earned in Jacksonville. I aspire to work with renowned actors such as Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lopez, Emily Blunt, Keanu Reeves, and Anya Taylor-Joy.
With a passion for growth and exploration, my vibrant spirit drives me to try new things every day. My dedication to my craft, combined with my love for the arts and philanthropy, makes me a powerful force in the entertainment industry.
Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
The qualities that I feel are most important to my success are resilience and the love I carry in my heart. In an industry filled with challenges, uncertainty, and constant change, my ability to stay strong, adapt, and persevere through difficult times has been key to my achievements. Resilience allows me to keep pushing forward, embrace new opportunities, and remain dedicated to my craft, no matter the obstacles I face. Love helps me stay true to myself, connect with others, and remain faithful to my heart.
