Born and raised in the Republic of Georgia, Tatia received her MFA from the American Film Institute. Her first feature film, FOREVER starring Deborah Ann Woll and Luke Grimes was released in the fall of 2015. Her short film FIRST KISS earned over 150 million views, Gold Lion and Clio. Follow up, UNDRESS ME, produced in collaboration with Showtime for MASTERS OF SEX, amassed over 40 million views. And her film LOVE AT FIRST TASTE for brand Knorr was the most viewed ad of 2016. Tatia was included in ADWEEK’s CREATIVE 100 as one of top 10 commercial directors making “coolest, strangest and loveliest ads.” Recent work includes campaigns for Delta, Ford, Facebook, and genre bending music videos for U2 and Rita Ora.
