Tara Bruno (she/her)
Currently based in NYC, Tara is an insatiable artist who wears many hats: Actor, Writer-Director, Producer and Filmmaker. Friends describe her as strong, alluring, and open-hearted with an unparalleled work ethic. Tara has worked regularly in U.S. Regional Theatres, on International and National tours, and in New York.
Tara was a 2021 recipient of a $5,000 Artist Corps Grant that recognized her debut short film, FREE. Her second short film, THE HIDDEN BABY, will also make the festival rounds next year. In 2022, she started Bella Lumi Productions to pursue her love of filmmaking.
Tara received her Masters in Acting at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and her BFA from The University of the Arts. While at RCS, she completed a residency and performed at Shakespeare's Globe in London. She also started writing and performing her own material in the UK, and debuted her one-woman shows, THE AFFAIR, in Glasgow and GOD SIZED HOLE, in London a few months later.
On the festival circuit, Tara played Martha in UNICORNLAND, a story of a New Yorker who explores polyamory in the search for relationship satisfaction, written by Lucy Gillespie. UNICORNLAND, won the Audience award at the Around International Film Festival, and was an official selection at the New Orleans Film Festival, Raindance Film Festival, Toronto Web Festival, and the NY Indie Theatre Film Festival.
In addition to creative pursuits, she loves to travel.
