Thiessen “Hung”- Up on Feature Directorial Debut

Thiessen and her Tit 4 TAT Productions have optioned the original screenplay, HUNG, from writer Derek Nguyen, and are developing the project for her full length directorial debut. The coming-of-age 80’s teen comedy centers on seventeen year old, Hung Tran, who attends Anaheim High in Orange County. An outcast in every social circle, Hung desperately wants to be cool and to belong. Before the school year is over, he’ll expose his name sake, share an unexpected first kiss and realize you’re sometimes better off without the girl. He’ll also learn that life can change for the better – if given time.

On board to produce with Thiessen and her Tit 4 TAT Productions partner, Dean Johnson, is Anne Clements (Quinceañera, Ping Pong Playa). With such honors as winner of the 2006 Sundance Film Festival Jury and Audience awards, the 2006 John Cassavetes Independent Spirit Award and a 2007 Independent Producers award nomination, Clements' indy film experience and accomplishments are welcomed additions that both Thiessen and Johnson are thrilled to announce.

Thiessen comments, “We’re so fortunate and excited to have Anne on board. All the pieces are falling into place. This is such a great story that Derek (Nguyen) has crafted. I’m so excited to be involved with a project that has so much heart. Plus, the fun, music and nostalgia of the 80’s is just icing on the cake.

Casting is currently underway on the project which is slated to film in Los Angeles.

Just Pray

“Just Pray” is a coming of age story involving a young Southern boy who is searching for resolution within his life. The film shares a beautiful and universal message about hope, redemption and salvation: sometimes you find these in the most unexpected people and in the most unexpected places.

Tiffani Thiessen - Having spent over half of her professional life on the sets of television and movies, Tiffani has acquired a first rate education in the “behind the scenes” aspect of production. As such, it came as no surprise that the veteran actress recently launched her own production company. In October, 2003, Tit 4 Tat Productions, Inc. became a reality and with this official start came more news: Tiffani had not only found her first project to produce, but she would also serve as DIRECTOR.

So, when cameras rolled in Los Angeles on June 24th, 2004, former actress-turned-producer-turned-director, Tiffani Thiessen, was at the helm of the original short film, “Just Pray.”

The Hollywood Reporter July 26, 2004,
"Everybody remembers you from your last five minutes, and I don't think people took me seriously. Being a woman doesn't help, and having people remember me from the types of shows I've done doesn't either. But I never like things to come easy, and this wasn't."
