Thomas Waschenfelder

One half of TripTee Pictures - a Los Angeles-based production company founded in 2022 that develops, writes, and produces premium scripted projects from actor & writer Tara Joshi and writer & producer Thomas Waschenfelder. Focused exclusively on television and film, TripTee is committed to telling diverse, under-represented stories with fresh, comedic twists for mass audiences.

Diverse, funny, and with heart. That’s the backbone of every project Tara and Thomas take on. If it’s not funny and fresh, it’s not for them. But funny isn’t enough. Their projects also illuminate the important universal themes of life. Themes like love, family, home, belonging, self-realization, and the search for happiness.

Tara, who is half east-Indian / half Caucasian, is particularly passionate about telling diverse stories from under-represented groups that use humor to bridge the cultural gap and find universal appeal. No matter one’s background, if the story is grounded in truthful experience it will resonate far beyond cultural boundaries and remind us of our shared humanity.

Thomas and Tara have optioned their projects to award-winning producers, and have had their projects pitched to Disney, ABC, Netflix, The CW, CBC, LifeTime, and many more. Their first feature, "Almost Indian" was a Finalist in Stage 32's 1st Annual Holiday Movie Screenwriting Contest. They are currently writing their second feature script with producer Allie Loh (Blacklight).
