Other current projects include “Men In My Bed” – a short based on a book of the same name, - now in post-production. One of the many projects he has in development is “Mood” - an abstract drama about a young woman coming to terms with every part of herself. This short is now in post-production. Page serves as writer, producer, and director on each of these projects.
Other recent activity includes producing and directing, two music videos: “You” by Neo-inspirational artist Moyani and “Amnesia” by R&B/Soul singer Rhonda Rich.
Anthony began his professional career as an actor.

Page, a 2019 Taurean Award nominee, has written several stage plays. Among them is “A Voice on The Winds of Change,” “Strugglin',” “The Commitment” and “Somewhere in Summerville” — which was a runner-up for Best in Show at the 2018 Atlanta Black Theatre Festival. His most recent work is an afro-futuristic short play set 2096 titled, "Adira Dela Croix 6.0."
