Director

Tori has always seen the world in pictures and felt stories deeply within her heart. She didn't officially find filmmaking until her early 20s, and she credits that with making her such a unique storyteller with a perspective that encompasses many different walks of life. 

​

After spending the better part of a decade script supervising, she recently made her feature directorial debut with the comedic, family, Christmas film, The Christmas Letter, featuring Chevy Chase, Randy Quaid, and Brian Doyle-Murray. Slated to direct many other meaningful stories, her passion is to continue to tell stories that highlight the significance and hope of every life.

​

A fan of meaningful stories in all mediums, Tori fell in love with the story of a heroic woman, Violet, battling to stay with her family amidst her harrowing mental health descent in the post-Depression South captured in the novel The Process of Fraying. She has since optioned the rights to adapt it under the name Shades of Violet. Tori has devoted the last several years to researching and developing this vastly impactful story for the screen.
