My name is Tris Thompson.

​

I direct narrative films and music videos, but my passion extends beyond the director's chair. I love being on set and collaborating in any role that helps bring a story to life, from independent productions to large-scale studio projects.

 

See you on set!

About Me

WillKarim002385-R1-006.JPG

Born and raised in a small town in Georgia, I spent my childhood immersed in imagination, creating my own dream worlds and telling stories long before I knew filmmaking could become a career. From a young age, I expressed my creativity through reading, writing poetry, competitive dance, and theater. My path led me to Oglethorpe University where I majored in film and minored in theater, then transferred to SCAD Atlanta to fully pursue filmmaking.

 

Since then, I have had the opportunity to work on SCAD's LED virtual production stage, expanding my experience with emerging filmmaking technology while developing my skills as a director. My music video Desiree earned a Student Emmy, and my short film WAX received two Student Emmy nominations. Most recently, my screenplay Bleed was selected as a finalist in the Atlanta Film Festival Screenplay Competition.

​

As a filmmaker, I am passionate about telling stories centered on girlhood, identity, and the quiet moments that shape who we become. As a crew member, I am eager to collaborate and grow, putting my best foot forward to get the shots in the can.
