Terrance Grace
About Credits Connect

Terrance Grace has been working in film and television for nearly twenty years. After graduating from Minneapolis College of Art and Design and New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, and before crossing over into dramatic fiction; Terrance continued his exploration of film as a ‘moving painting’ with The Pool and Letters From Home. Both films used the medium as an abstract tool in order to highlight deeply personal and emotional themes.

Terrance adapted Maurice Blanchot’s novela The Madness Of The Day into a startling tour de force for Wooster Group actor Michael Kirby. Mr. Ahmed brought a heightened naturalism to this original story of an Indian immigrant’s search for self in rural Pennsylvania. Starring internationally renowned actor Naseeruddin Shah, it garnered several awards and was called an enigmatic masterpiece by The Times Of India.

Terrance has also worked extensively as a documentarian for several international television networks. His work can be seen in the award-winning film Born Again Primitive, an intimate portrayal of Russell Means, the American Indian Movement activist; Huntsville, TX, an examination of the death penalty in the USA; and Sawt-e-Sarmad, an abstract journey through the Fes Festival of World Sacred Music, which was screened as part of the Spirit of Fes national tour in 2004.

As a screenwriter, Terrance has had six, feature-length dramatic scripts optioned. His work as a visual artist, photographer and writer, explores emotionally-charged subjects that cross cultural boundaries. His central focus within the narrative thread is the psychology of character, and its expression through the sensual texture of light and sound.
