Tian Boothe is an American film director, actress, and musician known for her heartfelt and compassionate works and performances. She was born in Saint Andrew, Jamaica and is of Caribbean and Syrian descent. She attended the private school Immaculate Conception Preparatory and High School. She completed high school in one year with the help of private tutors and homeschooling. In college she majored in Mathematics and Computer Science with a dual enrollment majoring in Classical Music Performance. Boothe then majored in Software Engineering during her graduate studies at Nova Southeastern University. During her graduate studies she was privately coached by Beverly Corke the renowned grooming specialist for Miss Jamaica World. She then moved to the United States in 2013.
Upon moving to the States, she realized her heart desired to be in the Arts and eventually stopped her graduate studies to pursue her filmmaking ambition. She moved to California to study cinema production at LACC, where she earned an A.A. in Cinema Production. During this time her work included "The Chase", "Fall Break", "The Tip", "Worrying About the Future" and "Never Look Back". Her film Fall Break won the top student films award at LACC and won her best directing at Pierce AGVS Festival. Her film, Never Look Back was nominated by Culture of Life Film Festival. In her last term she landed her first film internship and professional film job where she was mentored by multi award-winning producer Kia Kiso (Mile... Mile & A Half," "America the Beautiful," "Spiritual Liberation"). For her final student project, she wrote, directed and acted in Shattered Dream, a romance drama starring herself, Cate Kessler, and Tai Boothe. She also wrote the lyrics and sang the original soundtrack for the short film.
Her film "Shattered Dream" won multiple awards and kept getting disqualified as film student entry - being stated that her work looked too professional to be a student film; disheartened Boothe decided to stop entering film festivals and posted her song and film on YouTube where it gained her high recognition. It was a low budget independent film, but Boothe's superb, dynamic direction made it a surprise mainstream success and it is now regarded as one of the most heartfelt and touching films and songs for a new artist. The film then became the recipient of the Rebel Film Festival 2018 for the short film.

Compliance" a connecting story to Shattered Dream. In 2021 she wrote the musical narrative feature film "E.R. Emotional Release", a romance about two lovers based off her short film Shattered Dream.
