Being confident with music, sound, picture, editing, and graphics has enabled Tane to be one of the very best in her field as a director, producer and editor.

"As an independent film director, I feel that often, the most interesting scenes in a film include the unexpected moments that were never actually specifically written in the script. When an actor takes a beat or two longer to get his emotions together while the camera is rolling, but the scene has not technically begun. Sometimes those quiet moments are the most honest and fresh. He is not 'acting,' he is simply 'feeling,' and THAT to me, can be magic on film."

Tane is the author of a new book: "Rescue Heart: A Love Story," based on a feature film screenplay also written by her.
