Lanett Tachel

Lanett Tachel is a true multi-hyphenate. She's an Actress, Writer, and Producer (SAG/ W.G.A/p.g.a.) from Prince George's County Maryland, who's driven by her love of performing, creating, and producing roles that feature layered and multi faceted African American characters in front of and behind the camera. After landing the role of 'Dorothy' in the Wizard of Oz while in elementary, Lanett was clear on the career she wanted. After receiving her BFA from Howard University, she moved to Los Angeles and served as a consultant to the legendary Ed Weinberger (Taxi, The Cosby Show) on the series, BELLE'S, starring Keith David and Ella Joyce. Lanett later earned a title role on the show and learned the valuable lesson of creating her own work. Following the series, Lanett went on to produce an award winning short, 'SISTER SISTER SISTER' followed by a series of narrative driven videos for a Universal Recording Artist. She then went on to co-write and Produce the Suspense/Thriller Feature-'ILLICIT' which released theatrically and on streaming platforms. She co-created/wrote/produced the comedic single cam series, 'PUMP,' where she also stars alongside Ray J, Jennifer Freeman, Michael Jai White and more. She then served as lead producer and writer on the Fox/Mar Vista thriller, TWISTED DATE, currently #1 on the Tubi platform. But Lanett is most excited for her film ANGIE'S CURE, (psychological thriller) where she serves as writer, producer, and the title character. "This film speaks to me like nothing I've ever been a part of." Angie's Cure had its WORLD PREMIERE at the Dances With Films Festival on June, 27th 2023 and won the festival's coveted "GRAND JURY AWARD" for Best Feature Film. Lanett lives by the motto, "Don't Wait, Create" and can't wait for the world to see what she's setting up next.
