Tiffany Alzatti

Writer / Creatrix

Represented by Affirmative Ent. & Kaplan-Stahler

An intuitive, cathartic storyteller who anchors herself in authenticity that is composed of her ancestral Mexican heritage and her west coast American upbringing.

Growing up all over the Coachella Valley in California, she shielded herself from the desert sun by escaping inside books, TV, and movies. She inhaled the nurturing, honest words of Judy Blume, and became addicted to the discomforting, quick-witted words of Chuck Palaniuk.

Through her television writing, she explores the bitters and the sweets surrounding dysfunctional families, underdogs, female friendships and hidden magic in everyday life.

Through her high concept rom-com feature scripts, she births original, off-beat characters who struggle with who they truly are versus who the world believes they’re supposed to be.

She is a creatrix alone, but also loves collaborating with other writers and artists, believing that the magic created with them cannot be replicated alone.
