Tiffany Paulsen
Tiffany Paulsen is basically a powerhouse in the film industry, and honestly, if you haven’t heard her name yet, you’re probably not paying attention. She snagged both the Disney/ABC Writing and Sony TV Directing Fellowships—yeah, both, not just one. That’s not even the half of it. She took the legendary Nancy Drew and gave her new life for Warner Brothers, which is no small feat, considering the original fanbase is like a cult following. Then she whipped up a sequel to Adventures in Babysitting that actually got nominated for DGA and Imagen awards. Not many can pull that off with a sequel.
Her original romantic comedy Holidate? It came out swinging and shot straight to number one globally on Netflix. People were obsessed. The follow-up, About Fate, did the same thing but for MGM and Amazon Prime. When you see a pattern like that, you know she’s not just some one-hit wonder. She’s got serious staying power.
And get this—she’s stepping into the director’s chair for her feature debut with Winter Spring Summer or Fall, which is already making waves and is set for its world premiere at Tribeca Film Festival in June 2024. That’s the sort of trajectory that screams talent, drive, and a knack for knowing exactly what audiences want. Paulsen’s got this mix of creativity and hustle that’s kind of rare these days, and honestly, who knows what she’ll do next? But whatever it is, you can bet people will be watching.
