DIRECTOR BIO - TULICA SINGH

Tulica Singh began her career writing and directing in-between bartending shifts in New York City. She attended USC’s School of Cinematic Arts, where she received the Jon Houston scholarship for excellence in directing. Her projects tend to combine the surreal with the sincere - her short film Multidimensional features a woman in love with a cloud. Her deliciously bizarre animated series Croissant Man - about a depressed Croissant searching for the meaning of life - played 20 festivals, including the New York Television festival, ultimately winning 13 awards. Croissant Man was a Vimeo staff pick, featured in LA magazine, IFC’s Comedy crib and was one of the first web series to be distributed on Amazon Prime. Her queer surreal short film Dream Girl debuted at Palm Springs International Film Festival amongst many others. She was selected as a Sundance fellow for the 2021 feature lab and one of only two Comedy Central fellows chosen for this cycle.  From 2019-2021 Tulica wrote and directed and edited content for Tetris’ first nightly game show. In November of 2022, her essay Ras Malai will be included in Zosia Mamet’s anthology My First Popsicle. Tulica continues to write and direct projects that combine a tongue in cheek sensibility with tenderness, while working as an in demand freelance editor for companies such as NBC, Disney, Tastemade, Amazon, IGN and The Food Network.

Her work focuses on small towns, dysfunctional families, and the kind of relationships only possible when everything else is screwed up. 

Her acclaimed shorts and music videos have screened at SXSW, Palm Springs Shortfest, Mill Valley, Portland International, and online via Pitchfork, Spin, Rolling Stone, and NPR, among others. Her debut feature film, CLEMENTINE, premiered at the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival in the US Narrative Competition section and was nominated for best narrative feature film. Clementine was supported by the Tribeca Film Institute, the Sundance Institute, Film Independent, IFP, and was the only US based project invited to the 2016 Venice Biennale College-Cinema Development Lab. The film was awarded best cinematography and best narrative feature film at the Bend Film Festival and received favorable reviews from Variety, Rogerebert.com, and many other media outlets.
