Tonnecqua Faleti
Screenwriter | Assistant Director | Production Support

I’m a self-taught screenwriter and emerging assistant director with a deep passion for storytelling that resonates emotionally and visually. My creative foundation was shaped by a love for animation, music, and character-driven narratives that reflect the raw complexities of human experience—especially from the lens of underrepresented communities. As a storyteller, I focus on crafting layered, transformative stories that explore themes of identity, healing, and spiritual awakening. I love storytelling and experiencing the various different types of art within filmmaking.

I am a mother and wife who has always aspired to work Full-Time in the film industry. I am looking to grow my professional portfolio of screenwriting and connect with other industry professionals.

Currently developing my original short film Grieving Me, I’m also expanding my experience behind the camera. I’m actively seeking more on-set opportunities as a 1st or 2nd Assistant Director, Production Assistant, or Script Supervisor to deepen my understanding of production workflows, build my network, and grow as a well-rounded filmmaker. My goal is to evolve into a visionary director and creative producer who brings authentic, soul-stirring films to screen—from indie gems to studio-backed features.
