ANN DALTON

Anne Dalton came to Tucson in 2008 from North Carolina where she had worked in public health service design, delivery and communications. After retiring from this field in 2004, she travelled the West and chose to settle in Tucson.
She initially spent winters here studying journalism at Pima Community College and photography. Between 2010 and 2014, she was contracted to supervise the writing staff and provide photography with a local magazine, Community Connections. During that time, she became interested in learning documentary production and produced her first film for Soroptimists International of Desert Tucson in 2011. The film, "The Price of Silence," was about domestic minor sex trafficking in Southern Arizona. The film raised awareness of this national problem locally and was used to inform communities how to protect minors from this crime.
She went on to produce other short docs around community life with an emphasis on art, humor and health. She currently serves on the IFA Board and in 2015 established the first documentary group within IFA to provide training and on-hands experiences in production for those wanting to expand their documentary skills.
