Kay is the writer of THE MISEDUCATION OF BINDU produced by Roolala Productions and Pigasus Pictures. She played a seminal role in accruing over $60,000 for the film on the Seed & Spark Crowdfunding Platform, winning the Hometown Heroes’ Grand Prize, and drawing the attention of the Duplass Brothers to executive produce. As of spring 2020, Bindu has been acquired by MarVista for distribution.
Kay has produced the breakout short film, THE AWARENESS, for director Henry Dunham (The Standoff At Sparrow Creek) which premiered on and is a Vimeo Staff Pick. She also produced and directed WINE BOTTLES, winning multiple awards, including Best LGBT film at the Marina Del Rey Film Festival. Kay is also the producer and creative consultant of the web series, MY HUMAN EXPERIENCE, about aliens on earth who study human dating habits currently going out to film festivals. She is also producing THROUGH THE BLINDS: AN ANTHOLOGY and directing her first feature film DELIVERY.
Straddling the analytical and the creative, Tuxford graduated in 2002 from Northern Arizona with a degree in Biology and a minor in Chemistry before transitioning into filmmaking. Her emphasis focuses on outside-the-box roles for women and underrepresented minorities in film.
She is loved by her family and probably only just tolerated by her cat.
Unique traits: I once baked 30 pies in 30 days.
