I had the privilege of interviewing Tiffany Paulsen, the talented director behind Winter Spring Summer or Fall. Tiffany’s career is a testament to her versatility and dedication to her craft. She began as an actress before transitioning to writing, earning accolades such as the Disney/ABC Writing Fellowship and the SONY TV Diverse Directors Fellowship.
Tiffany’s filmography includes work for major studios like Netflix, Disney, FOX, ABC, MGM, SONY, Warner Bros., and Universal Studios. Her impressive resume features the big-screen adaptation of Nancy Drew for Warner Bros., which starred a young Emma Roberts and premiered on over 3,500 screens across the U.S. She has also collaborated with top talents such as Selena Gomez, Sabrina Carpenter, Sofia Carson, Emma Roberts, and Oscar winner Halle Berry.
In addition to her writing achievements, Tiffany attended the New York Film Academy to study directing. Her first short film, The Swan, won Best Picture at the Los Angeles Live Score Film Festival and received recognition at several other film festivals.
