Autumn Tarleton started at the ballet barre at age five and became
entrenched in the visual arts. She learned to see ballet as a form
storytelling combining choreography, music, tone and personal
performance. The process of dance incorporated all the elements she
later came to love in filmmaking, as well as the sense of community and
constant hard work.
Her first feature screenplay DRIFTED ASUNDER has been shortlisted for the 2013 Sundance Screenwriters Lab.
Autumn co-directed and produced a documentary about Brooklyn artist Mac Premo and his buzzed about Dumpster Project. She recently produced the doublewide media film ANIMALS DISTRACT ME, which premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. Directed by and starring Isabella Rossellini, this docu-fantasy film explores a "day in the life" of the animal obsessed Rossellini. In 2010, she produced a month-long documentary shoot in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The film focuses on children struggling to survive with juvenile diabetes. In 2008 she also post-produced LIFE FOR A CHILD, another documentary about children with diabetes set in Nepal.
Her first feature length documentary, WINDFALL, tells the story of the inhabitants of a small, rural town in upstate New York and their struggle on whether or not to allow industrial wind turbine development amidst their homes. WINDFALL premiered at the Toronto Film Festival and won the Grand Jury Prize at the 2010 DOCNYC Festival. The film hit theatres in New York in February of 2012 and is now available for download through Amazon.com.
