Experience
The transition to screenwriting was transformative for Tamlin Hall. After studying acting at Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago, Hall began working on his first produced feature screenplay. Tamlin Hall's debut feature as a writer/director, Holden On, was a deeply personal film inspired by the tragic loss of a childhood friend to suicide. Since then, he has earned accolades in film and television — including a Humanitas Prize for television writing and two Southeast Emmy awards for producing — and has seen his writing/directing projects win top prizes at film festivals such as Dances With Films, Atlanta Film Festival, and Breckenridge Film Festival. Hall’s upcoming feature film, Red Camellia, a small-town mystery drama, is currently in post-production. Directed and co-written by Hall, Red Camellia features an outstanding ensemble cast, including Carly Chaikin (Mr. Robot), Douglas Smith (Big Love, Don’t Worry Darling), Sean Bridgers (Deadwood, Rectify, Room), and Chloe Guidry, who was recently nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for her role as Josephine Bell in the Hulu limited series Under The Bridge.
Driven by a mission to tell stories that matter, Hall founded the nonprofit Connected Content in 2017. The nonprofit’s successful fiscal sponsorship program, Reel Hope, currently supports a slate of narrative and documentary projects that center on social impact and cause-based storytelling, including the Emmy award winning PBS series Hope Givers, hockey drama Shattered Ice, and The Tropic Sun and His Eyes, filmed in Haiti. He is a member of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Southeast Chapter. Hall is a proud father of two children and a native of LaGrange, Georgia.
