Tiffany Taveras doesn't just edit; she crafts stories with meaning and intention that resonate across high-profile brands, music videos, and film. Executive Producer Ryan Smith expressed his enthusiasm saying, “I am beyond thrilled to add Tiffany to our roster. Her natural talent for storytelling and immaculate attention to detail make her one to watch, and she is an absolute joy to be around. Her love for the craft is contagious. I’m so excited about her future!”
Her journey unfolded in Austin, Texas, where Taveras honed her skills in creative editing and color grading. In 2021, she made a pivotal move to New York City to join Whitehouse Post, swiftly establishing herself as a creative force. "I always kept an eye on Whitehouse Post because they were among the best. They excel in pushing artistic boundaries and fostering true collaboration. What I particularly appreciate is Whitehouse's emphasis on director relationships—a team effort to breathe life into an edit. The ebb and flow of collaboration is really fun for me.”
Truly thoughtful about all aspects of the industry, Taveras aims to create art that not only captivates but also educates and inspires. "As a passionate storyteller, my experience collaborating with industry leaders has allowed me to contribute to impactful projects." Taveras' collaborations extend to top brands such as Chevy, Coca-Cola, Modelo, Marvel, and DoorDash, working closely with esteemed agencies, including Townhouse, Saatchi NY, Havas, Dentsu, and R/GA. In addition to her commercial work, Taveras has a strong passion for film, with documentaries and films showcased at festivals worldwide, earning Grand Prizes at the Rhode Island International Film Festival and Lone Star Film Festival.
Dedicated to promoting inclusivity and diversity in advertising, particularly in post-production, Taveras actively contributes to industry evolution and creating spaces for diverse voices to thrive. This commitment shines through in her latest documentary, 'The Solace of Sisterhood,' a poetic narrative about the New Orleans motorcycle club, The Caramel Curves. Taveras emphasizes, "These women redefine the rules of the road, demonstrating that strength and femininity can coexist in a perfect balance, creating a powerful force of inspiration." Committed to inspiring emerging talent, Taveras serves as a mentor and shared her insights at events like E4 Youth’s 'Creative Pathways' and SheMadeIt, a workshop empowering women and non-binary individuals of color in the directorial creative space. "Being a supportive mentor holds deep significance for me. I'm passionate about guiding emerging editors to exceed expectations and elevate their art."
Whitehouse Partner/ Editor Adam Marshall saw something notable in Tiffany soon after her arrival. “Within a few months of working with Tiffany there was no doubt in my mind that she had the talent to be an editor at Whitehouse. I look forward to watching her career continue to grow and know she will do great things.”
A Bold Depiction of The Immigrant Struggle and The Cost of The American Dream
Carmona Pictures, a New York-based production company, proudly announces that Chisel, the short film written and directed by Julissa Scopino, has been selected as an official entry at the 2024 Chelsea Film Festival. The film, which powerfully explores the immigrant experience, will screen at the prestigious event, held from October 16-20 at Regal Theaters Union Square in New York City. In Chisel, a jobless teenage immigrant desperately seeks employment, only to be met with cold indifference from fellow laborers on a street corner who are also desperately looking for work.

The film offers a raw and urgent portrayal of the immigrant struggle, addressing labor exploitation, inequality, and the harsh realities of chasing the American dream. The film's main character is portrayed by actor Nico Bustamante (Riverdale, Gotti, and Bel Canto), who brings an emotional depth and authenticity to the role, capturing the internal struggle and desperation of his character. Chisel draws its power from Scopino’s sharp directorial vision and her dedication to illuminating this untold story of the Latino labor community. Influenced by cinematic giants like Vittorio De Sica (The Bicycle Thief) and Martin Scorsese (Gangs of New York), Scopino captures the emotional and physical toll of working-class life in an unforgiving system. "This film resonates profoundly with me as I witness the pervasive struggles in our New York City streets, where individuals grapple with challenges ranging from theft and violence to homelessness and unemployment," states Scopino.
