30-year old actress Anna Borchert [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Nude Debut (Brief Breasts), Jennifer Laporte & Ashley Drayton in West of Hell (2018)

A really important part of any nudity rider is to include the pages of the script that you are committing to shooting so that when the day comes if somehow the scene is different aka topless nudity to full frontal, you have the legal protection to say no because it’s not what you committed to when you signed your contract.
This would be the first time I was doing legit on-screen nudity. I’m not gonna lie…I arrived on set nervous and definitely had those “am I really doing this” moments when I was sitting in my trailer. But then I was too busy with making sure make-up was able to cover the tattoo on my ribcage and figuring out with wardrobe how we were going to get me to easily and quickly slip out of a costume from the 1800’s that had a million buttons in the back to focus on my nerves. I was working with an actor who I already knew which helped but there was still the awkwardness of “yep this is supposed to be super sexy but at the same time technical with how-to undress choreography and keeping in mind where the camera is as its dollies in and oh right there are 5 people in the room and it’s super not sexy.”

Anna Borchert is a bi-coastal actor, producer and writer originally from Vermont.

A 2003 graduate of Hartford High School, Borchert did a stint at Trinity College in Connecticut before heading to New York where she attended the Neighborhood Playhouse, an actors’ conservatory known for teaching the Meisner method. Notable alums include Diane Keaton, Jeff Goldblum and Robert Duvall.

But Borchert was drawn to the performing arts long before she landed in New York. As a child, she studied dance, lending her talents to musical productions in high school. Through her family, she also connected with a community theater group in New Hampshire where she was in some productions.

Knowing she wanted to get into television and film — she readily admits she’s not a singer — Borchert headed west to LA three years ago after graduating the Neighborhood Playhouse.

Borchert has trained under prestigious acting coaches, such as Anthony Abeson (Jennifer Aniston, Ian Somerhalder) and Bob Krakower (Rooney Mara).

Since then, she’s had roles in a handful of short films and web series. Borchert was seen in the indie flick Shadows & Lies, where she shared the screen opposite James Franco. The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2010. Some of Borchert‘s other credits include independent projects such as Mike India Alpha, The Faithful Departed, The Day the AC Went Out, and Beautiful.

She says her type of role tends to be “good girls gone bad” — socialites, femmes fatales, manipulative rich girls. She jokes that it’s a description her mother loves.

Borchert just wrapped production on “The Cold Descent AKA West of Hell,” a horror film directed by Michael Steves. The film set on a train in 1870s Georgia, follows a former slave seeking to avenge his daughter’s death who encounters a threat far more terrifying than the one he poses to his enemies.

Borchert, who plays a character called the “Brunswick Whore,” says she booked the part by chance. A friend who was working on the production, posted to Facebook that they had an opening, Borchert replied and got the role.

She says the film has “a lot of solid actors,” including Tony Todd, Michael Eklund and Richard Riehle.

Borchert also stars in a new, untitled horror anthology web series where she plays a black sheep sister to another character. The series, which she describes as a cross between “American Horror Story” and “Alfred Hitchcock Presents,” will debut at some point on YouTube, though she notes that it may eventually land on a streaming service such as Crackle.

As more and more entertainment content gains exposure in media other than TV and film, Borchert finds herself right in the middle of that trend. Along with Heather Lee Moss, she is co-creator, executive producer and star of “Daughters of Pop,” a faux-reality video series on the photo-sharing app Instagram. Told in 15-second episodes, which premier every night at 9:15 p.m. when in season, the experimental series follows the lives of two entitled daughters of 1980s pop stars.

“We just wanted to see if we could do it,” Borchert says, who explains that viewers didn’t realize the series was a parody at first. Eventually, they caught on, and “Daughters of Pop” became a hit with Instagrammers, gaining more than 22,000 followers.

With the support of a solid artist community, Borchert says she is lucky to have found, she works hard to balance the business and creative sides of her life every day. She works, she writes, she supports her friends in their endeavors.

While taking the leap into professional acting can be daunting, Borchert encourages other aspiring actors to go for it. She notes that with technology and numerous platforms for delivering content to audiences, being based in New York or LA is not longer a necessity if you’re not looking to go the traditional route. Though on the technical side, she does recommend acting school, which she says was “worth it.”

Borchert’s biggest piece of advice, however, is to make something without the fear of doing it badly. The key to success is putting yourself out there, and you can’t do that without risking failure.

“Just go out and create, create, create!” she says.
