After over a decade producing content in Jamaica, Tanya set her sights on sharing her Afro-Indian British American Black female gaze with a more global audience. She moved to New York and while navigating her integration, Tanya continues to write, produce and direct in the Jamaican commercial world. Her work continuing to secure advertising awards.
Continuing to explore her craft and give visuals to her voice, in 2019 Tanya wrote, directed and produced her first independent narrative short, WINSTON. Described as "riveting" and "intense", the LGBTQ themed short has garnered a nomination for best screenplay and 2 best actor awards for the titular character.
Tanya is developing the LGBTQ themed docu-fiction feature Jamaican Pride. She is also working on bringing the Jamaican culture to a larger audience in the hybrid comedy sketch series, How to be Jamaican?
Happiest when on set surrounded by a crew coming together to manifest one creative vision, she remains devoted to crafting culturally diverse content.
