STUNT WOMAN • DIRECTOR • PRODUCER • MOTHER
Tiffany Abney’s journey spans championship athletics, rigorous stunt work, and bold filmmaking. From conquering 13 Pennsylvania Track and Field titles to performing on blockbuster sets. She brings relentless discipline and vision to every frame.
After years of navigating the entertainment industry as a stunt performer and creative, Tiffany created Jules. An intimate story about a black female motocross rider.

Channeling her lived experience into cinematic storytelling.
Beyond the camera, she is a dedicated mother to her son Legend, an advocate for women in action, and a mentor for emerging filmmakers. This chapter is about raising the bar for how an action indie film can feel. Gritty, soulful, vast and unapologetically personal.
In my eyes, the best way for audiences and potential collaborators to understand my vision was to make a short. Especially because the world of motocross hasn’t been explored through the lens of the black experience. I built the short to mirror a feature’s workflow: SAG compliance, insurance, licensing, payroll, vendors, both 1st and 2nd unit teams, the whole nine. The entire project was solely funded by me. Development, pre-production, production, post production, marketing and all of the expenses connected to our festival run. EVERYTHING.
I took on the full risk so I could remove the guesswork before raising money for the feature version. The short proved the concept absolutely works, revealed what resonates with audiences, and showed me exactly how to run a production at a high level.
Moving into the feature I know what I need and how to execute. Realistically, a feature is an entirely different financial responsibility. I could afford to self fund a proof of concept, however it’s going to take a community of donors, investors and sponsors to fund the feature. These funds will allow me the ability to take what I’ve learned and execute the story the way it deserves to be told: bigger, sharper, and with the resources needed to deliver a truly cinematic experience.
