Theresa Pittius

An actor's director, Theresa Pittius's work is driven by psychologically precise performances and emotionally grounded storytelling. Her films seek truth in human behavior, building tension through specificity, presence, and unapologetic unpredictability - asking audiences not simply to watch her characters, but to experience them. As the Co-Founder and Co-Owner of The Prep, with studios in New York, New Jersey, and Los Angeles, her clients can be seen in award-winning films from Sundance to Tribeca to Cannes and appear on every major network. Based in New York and Los Angeles, Pittius continues to develop original film and television projects that place authentic performance at the center of cinematic storytelling.

On-set coaching and film prep work includes the highly anticipated A24 Friday the 13th prequel Crystal Lake (Peacock; Young Jason Voorhees), I Saw The TV Glow (A24), Furious (HULU), Other Mommy (Atomic Monster), Interview With the Vampire (AMC+; Claudia), God Of War (Amazon), Chucky (Peacock), Lee Cronin's The Mummy (New Line Cinema), Affection (Brainstorm Media), Long Bright River (Peacock), Prodigal Son (FOX), Nightwatching (Amazon MGM Studios), The Whisper Man (Netflix), Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (Paramount), Avatar: The Last Airbender (Netflix), Avatar: The Way of Water (20th Century Studios) and many more.
