FULL BIO
Formerly described by the state as an “at risk youth,” Los Angeles native Tasha Caufield has been writing since the age of fourteen when she joined a sitcom writing workshop while staying in a juvenile placement facility. (For more on her “origin story” check out this video.) Later working in a one-on-one mentorship with workshop instructor and television writer/producer Lisa Rosenthal, (The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Married with Children, Martin), Tasha’s writing eventually gained her admittance to University of Southern California’s prestigious School of Cinema-Television for film production, along with a Warner Bros. Fellowship and work in Hollywood.
Curious about life outside of institutions – both juvenile and Hollywood – Tasha then headed to the Midwest with the excuse of law school, but instead got a crash course in “normal,” along with some creative inspiration. Her discovery: “Pain is not only everywhere, but it’s like a crappy party people seem to stumble into. ‘At-risk youths’ got there early, but more and more ‘normal’ people are showing up, and nobody feels like dancing… More importantly, someone better make all these people laugh before they realize there isn’t enough booze.” She then started writing stand-up comedy before moving on to other mediums.
Tasha credits her success in her creative endeavors to years of writing and staying true to herself. And, when it comes to the latter, she is dedicated to helping others to do the same. With her production company Reel It In, Tasha directed and produced the documentary “The Makings of a Stand-Up Comedian,” which shows aspiring comics the importance of finding their voice. She has also written non-fiction books: “A.W.O.L: How to Escape the Juvenile Justice System and Experience Inner Peace,” which has been praised as inspiring and influential among incarcerated youth, and “The Art of Laziness: What Creatives Do When Doing Nothing” for like-minded creatives and entrepreneurs.
Now an award-winning filmmaker specializing in AI filmmaking, Tasha has formed UAI ARTISTS, LLC to support screenwriters looking to bring their scripts to life with the help of AI film technology.
And with a love of storytelling, she has also published several fiction novels, including her debut novel, “Rewriting Harry Potter,” a tale inspired by her life and stand-up, followed by “The Care and Feeding of Sex Symbols,” “Serial Killer,” and “Hangman: The Legend of William Francis Melchert-Dinkel.”
She has a YouTube Channel that showcases her current filmmaking projects (and old “advice” videos no one asked for), as well as a seasonal podcast where she publishes “open-diary” thoughts whenever the mood strikes just right.
Stay tuned as she continues to follow her bliss…
