The Smith Family

Tasha Oldham began her film career as a production coordinator on David Lynch's Lost Highway. After a brief stint in development at Tri-Star Pictures, she set her sites on the world of production as a script supervisor working on various feature films, television movies, and television series. She has worked with such directors as Wim Wenders, Peter Baldwin and David Steinberg.

Her directorial debut, The Smith Family, has been a smashing success. It launched the 2002 season of POV, PBSs award winning showcase of non-fiction films. It has been an official selection of several major film festivals, winning the 2002 AFI Film Festival's Audience Award and the prestigious Columbia/Alfred I duPont Award. Most impressively, it won Tasha the coveted award by the Directors Guild of America for Outstanding Direction in a Documentary. Other festivals that have honored her have been the South By Southwest Festival, Seattle Film Festival, DoubleTake Documentary Film Festival, Thessaloniki Documentary Festival (in Athens, Greece) and the Turin International Film Festival (Turin, Italy). Most recently The Smith Family was nominated for an Emmy Award.

She has formed her own company, SmallTown Productions to develop and produce quality projects for feature film and television.
