Hey, I'm Tara Barnes
Hello fellow filmmakers! I'm originally from Chicago and have been going after it in LA for about 2 years now. I studied film in college, and have taken some directing workshops at AFI. I'm interested in making films that tell real stories about people living this thing called life! Check out my reel below!
I live in Mid town - Pico / Robertson area, so reach out if you're near and we can grab a pint!

A little more about me ~
The project I'm most proud of: Working on Soul Sisters, a short film about two women who both lose their twin, and how they handle their grief. I wrote it and directed it. It was a beast, but so worth it in the end.
My top 5 movies of all time:
1. North by Northwest - love Cary Grant and Hitchcock!
2. Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants - of course
3. Finding Nemo - (I connect with Dory;)
4. In the Bedroom - deep and heartbreaking
5. Waiting to Exhale - Angela Bassett is my fave
My dream project: Not sure yet, but I am very interested in making films that explore the complexities of female relationships.
Most inspiring __Director_____ of all time: Ava DuVernay! She inspires me every day and is the reason I got into film!
My industry goals: Make movies, tell stories, build a career, work with creative people, live a fulfilling life!
Quote I live by: "If not now, then when" and "Why not me?"
