Natasha “Tash” Gray
Director

Born and raised in the tumultuous streets of South Central LA, Tash says she barely resisted the urge to become a gangsta rapper. Instead, she received her BA (UCLA) and MA (SDSU) in Film/TV. Since, Tash was accepted into the PGA’s Diversity Workshop program, earned her a spot in NBC’s “Writers on the Verge”, and chosen from 1200 to be an ABC-DISNEY Writing fellow staffed on the Disney’s Dog With A Blog. Just recently, she wrote and directed Daddy’s Home for DVD and TV distribution by RLJ Entertainment. Tash’s ultimate goal is to prove to everyone that ovaries are funny.
