Too Curious by Half.... The continuing story of Taunya Gren
I've been acting professionally for 38 years, producing film for 15 years and singing with the band "Puzzlebox" for 17 years (Puzzlebox will be performing in the UK in 2014!) I am a professional science fiction/fantasy artist and was a 3d animator/computer artist for computer and video games for 15 years. Directed live television for 5 years. Martial artist off and on for 20. Mother for 30 and now screenwriter for 5 years.
I'm also the founder of the non profit organization Utah Women in Film, and president of 5 Rainbow Productions. Check out my interview on Salt Media
Fun news this year! I won 1st place in the 2013 UWIF screenwriting contest. I was also recently cast as the hostess for an Old Time Radio site, "Way Back When" and am doing artwork for Blue Table Painting.
