In Los Angeles, Tina wrote and performed her 13 character one woman show, Irresistible, and was hailed by critics. “Her character work rivals that of Lily Tomlin.” (In Magazine). Irresistible was also accepted to the New York Fringe Festival.
While acting opposite Teri Garr, Tina made her film directing debut with the comedy, God Out the Window. Other film roles include the Slamdance audience favorite, Phantom Pain, in which she starred and produced.
