Abigail Jane Kathryn Tarttelin (born 13 October 1987 in Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire) is an English actor, writer and novelist.
Biography
Abigail Tarttelin was born in Grimsby, England, and brought up on Far Ings nature reserve on the North East coast.[clarification needed] Her paternal grandfather is artist David Tarttelin.
Tarttelin studied at Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School, Horncastle, and was one of the first 100 members of the National Academy of Gifted and Talented Youth. She was accepted into the National Youth Theatre. She trained in Paris with the New York Film Academy at the National French Film School in 2006, and began a degree in Film Studies at King’s College London, leaving after a month to focus on a film career.
In her first acting role Tarttelin played Fenella in the award-winning[citation needed] 2008 film The Butterfly Tattoo, based on Philip Pullman’s novel, which had a limited theatrical release in the US and UK but was screened on opening night at the Cannes Film Festival in 2009.[citation needed] The following year she took the starring role in independent sci-fi Schrodinger’s Girl[1] (now entitled Triple Hit) in which she played three versions of the same woman in parallel worlds.[2] The film premiered in 2009 at Comic-Con, in San Diego.
Her performance in this film was reviewed as One To Watch in Moviescope Magazine in 2009[3][4]. Director Mark Locke has cast her in the role of Stacey, a love interest, in his bachelor party comedy Three Stags, due out 2011.
In September 2009 Tarttelin signed with agent Jo Unwin of Conville and Walsh, one of three agents shortlisted in April 2010 for the Bookseller Industry Literary Agent of the Year Award. The sale of Tarttelin’s first novel Flick, begun at the age of 19, to publishers Beautiful Books was organized through Unwin.[citation needed]
Tarttelin has worked as a screenwriter for filmmaker Chris Jones, and has written for the blogs womenandhollywood.com and thedebate.uk.com. She serves as a committee member for Equity, the actor’s union.[citation needed]
In 2010 Tarttelin appeared at festivals[clarification needed] using her bilingual (French/English) skills to play lead role Beverley in the thriller short, Taxi Rider. The film was shown as part of the official selection at the Oxford International Film Festival (October 2010), the St. Louis International Film Festival (November 2010), and the Foyle Film Festival (November 2010) where the Festival Jury praised Tarttelin for acting "beautifully"[5], and the London Short Film Festival (January 2011).
Tarttelin with Amazingtunes.com compiled an album of music (by artists Futuristic Retro Champions, Let's Buy Happiness, Michael Reeve, The Stereo Shutdown, and Tantrums) as a soundtrack accompaniment to her debut novel, Flick, to promote both new writing and new music[6]. In a review of Flick, Tarttelin was described as "a viciously talented new writer" by Guy Mankowski, author of The Intimates[7]. Flick is due to be released in April 2011 by publishers Beautiful Books.
