Anne Wheeler, OC is a Canadian film and television writer, producer, and director. Graduating in Mathematics from the University of Alberta she was a computer programmer before traveling abroad. Her years of travels inspired her to become a storyteller and when she returned she joined a group of old friends to form a film collective. From 1975 to 1985 she worked for the NFB where she made her first feature film, A War Story, which was about her father, Ben Wheeler and his time as a doctor in a P.O.W. camp during WW2. The war is a common theme in her work and she revisited it later in her films Bye Bye Blues and The War Between Us. Her first non-NFB film was Loyalties in 1986. In addition to her films, she has directed episodes of Cold Squad, Da Vinci's Inquest, Mysterious Ways, This Is Wonderland and The Guard. She has been nominated 4 times for the Genie Award for Best Achievement in Direction for her films Loyalties, Cowboys Don't Cry, Bye Bye Blues, and Suddenly Naked. She has also been awarded seven honorary doctorates. In 1995 was made an Officer of the Order of Canada. In 2012 she received Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal
