Tatiana Paris is a paid writer/director at Rapid Reelz who specializes in cerebral dramas and zany comedies like her award-winning short Jobestown. Born into a traveling circus family, she learned "weird" and "eccentric" were to be praised, and utilizes those qualities to create whimsical and visceral films. Indie Fest Journey applauded her deep-rooted understanding of toeing the line between comedy and tragedy in her short Memoirs of a Dead Bitch. Tatiana won Best Director for her films Tin Can and Ill-Adjusted at various festivals and her film Sound and Silence received a Best Director Nomination at The Easterseals' Disability Film Challenge.
