Career

Tatchell graduated in 2001 from the Vancouver Film School's Writing for Film and Television program.[3] She began her screenwriting career in 2006 with the IDEALOGUE short action film Adicolor Yellow under the direction of her husband Neill Blomkamp.[4] In 2008, Tatchell wrote, with Blomkamp, the screenplay of the science-fiction film District 9,[5] which was released in 2009. Her work on District 9 has since garnered a number of awards nominations,[6] including an Academy Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay[7] and the Saturn Awards.[8] She won the 2009 Bradbury Award from the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America for her work on the screenplay.[9]

November 2019, Tatchell put out the first picture book in the Endangered & Misunderstood Series "Aye-Aye Gets Lucky" illustrated by Ivan Sulima. Each book in the series will feature a lesser-known endangered animal and all proceeds will go directly to charities helping with the conservation of the featured animal.
