ABOUT MIA TESS
​
Mia, a graduate of the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts, is a Post Coordinator at Disney Animation Studios by day, and an editor and writer in between meetings. She dreams to one day write and direct a feature stemming from one of her kooky notes app ideas that she frantically writes down in the middle of traffic on the 134.
​
She was born and raised in the suburbs of Massachusetts, where she began Film & TV in sports broadcast and won a National Academy of Televisions Arts and Sciences Student Award of Excellence in her Junior year of high school. Earning several 1st and 2nd Place awards in the local Hockomock Film Festival, Mia zoomed off to Los Angeles, California to make her passion into a career at her dream school.
​
As a Japanese-American, Mia calls many places, cultures and people 'home'. With Tokyo, Japan serving as a second home for most of her childhood and her parents moving to Honolulu, Hawaii, Mia loves to travel and keep her Japanese from getting rusty.
​
When Mia is away from a computer screen, she can be found probably at a different computer screen, don't tell her optometrist. She is an avid gamer, baseball hat collector, and ramen fanatic. Otherwise, she loves being her loved ones' resident handy woman and IT girl with mediocre impressions, and funky dance moves.
