Tiffany Ann Laufer met her muse and the subject of her children's books at the Cleveland Animal Protective League. Tiffany went back three times and each time Bellafonte Dixie Daisy dog was there waiting for her. Some things are meant to be. Tiffany attributes her love of art and drawing to spending long days at the Cleveland Museum of Art as a child. Tiffany also holds an MFA in cinematography from The American Film Institute and has shot numerous short films, music videos and the feature film "Christmas at Maxwell's". Tiffany is also a screenwriter, her script 'Emily & the Blue Heron' was a semi-finalist in the Sundance Writer's Lab. Her latest film, The Acorn Penny is just now entering the film festival circuit. (www.theacornpenny.com) The Acorn Penny is Bella dog's first film and Tiffany's first submission to the Sundance Film festival! When Bella dog takes a break from acting she loves to read (even to just look at the pictures), chase squirrels and lounge on the porch. Tiffany likes to eat pesto, learn italian and draw polar bears.
