Tatyana Richaud

Richaud's on-screen credit is a single one: the 2019 short film *Backpackdraft*, where she played a character named Sienna (IMDb). One role. That's it — and yet her name turns up across Rotten Tomatoes, Fandango, and MUBI in filmography listings, which can make her profile a little confusing to parse at first glance. The acting credit feels more like a footnote than a chapter. Where Richaud's career actually lives is in music for screen. Her vocal work for *What We Do In The Shadows* — an FX series with a devoted, detail-obsessed fanbase — put her voice inside one of the more distinctive genre comedies of recent years, even if her contribution stayed largely behind the credits (LinkedIn). The *Bloodwitch* collaboration with Graham Coxon for *I Am Not Okay With This* is arguably the most high-profile credit she carries right now, given Coxon's profile and the Netflix series' reach among younger audiences who caught it during its brief but memorable run. Scoring *In A Wintry Season* for its Cinequest 2025 premiere represents something different, though — original composition for a feature documentary is a different discipline than vocal performance, and it suggests Richaud has been building toward that kind of work deliberately. She's currently doing it while simultaneously completing her Screen Scoring degree at NYU on the Alan Menken Scholarship (LinkedIn). Studying and working at the same time, in other words. The scholarship itself is worth flagging: named for the composer behind *The Little Mermaid*, *Beauty and the Beast*, and roughly a dozen other films that defined what animated film scoring could sound like, it's a meaningful institutional endorsement for someone still early in their compositional career.
