Deemed a "rare gem" with the "it" factor" and a "notable artist" Tessa Farrell is the rare talent with ability to do it all... acting, directing, screenwriting, producing, and editing. In fact, when you see the movie Cinema Rebel, coming soon in 2023, you’ll find out just how much she can do.
Tessa was born on August 10, 1988 in Scottsdale, Arizona. Her parents are Catherine McGinley, a real estate agent of the McGinley Group in Austin, and Scott Farrell, a very talented novelist under the pen name Scott Falcon. Tessa has one younger sister, Kelsey, and two younger half brothers, Ryan and Shane. Tessa is main European with small traces of Native American, Asian and African ancestry.
Tessa had a relatively normal childhood and advanced in academics, soccer, dance and choir. Upon graduating from Stony Point High School in Round Rock, Texas, Tessa went to film school at The University of Texas in Austin. After earning her bachelor’s degree in Radio-TV-Film, Tessa packed up her blue mustang and drove to Hollywood to pursue her true love... movies.
Tessa immediately landed a recurring appearance on Entourage as a supermodel and caught the eye of actor Ty Granderson Jones, known for his roles: Blade in Con Air and 40 Dog in CB4. Ty immediately noticed something very special about Tessa and considered her to be a very rare diamond. This fateful meeting inspired him to pick up a movie script he wrote a few years prior and ask her to play the lead role, Diamond. Tessa loved the character, an assassin seeking soul redemption, and took the part. Tessa's "compelling, charismatic and graceful" performance in the film secured her a nomination for Best Female Action Performer of the Year in the International Action on Film Festival.
While Tessa continued studying at various acting studios and auditioning for TV and movie roles, she developed special interests in psychology, sociology, spirituality and global culture that evolved into a mission to make a difference in the world and become more than a movie actress. Tessa quickly grew unsatisfied with the content she was auditioning for and majestically transformed herself into an unstoppable artist driven to create film content that not only entertains it infiltrates the audience’s subconscious to bring healing and inspire better decision making for an improvement in their quality of life. This motivation combined with a burning desire in her heart to do something in film that's never been done before lead to her creation: The groundbreaking 11-time award-winning feature film, Cinema Rebel. Stay tuned for details on the world premiere.
