Tiffany Tenille BIO

Tiffany Tenille is a storyteller who finds beauty in seemingly idyllic worlds with an undercurrent of darkness. Her work often delves into the coming-of-age journeys of young women teetering on the brink of mental collapse, a theme powerfully depicted in her directorial debut, Albion Rose. The short was awarded 'The Future of Film is Female' post-production grant, the Phenomenal Person in Film Award from Cinema Femme, and received high praise from RogerEbert.com, calling it "utterly mesmerizing". Notably, the film had its recent premiere at MoMA and was featured as part of the closing night lineup for the FOFIF Part 4. Originally from Chicago, Tenille holds a BFA in Acting from The Theatre School at DePaul University. Her breakout performance in "Jezebel", where she played the titular role, was met with critical acclaim during its world premiere at SXSW. The film's subsequent screenings in select theaters and on Netflix cemented Tenille as a rising star in the industry. In addition to her accomplishments in front of the camera, Tenille's exceptional writing talent has also been recognized. Her upcoming film, "A Woman's Body," backed by the fiscal sponsorship of Film Independent, earned her the distinction of being a Quarterfinalist in the 2023 ScreenCraft, Scriptation and Filmmatic Screenplay Competitions, as well as being named a Finalist in the Nashville Film Festival Screenwriting Competition.
