She will work under department head, Kyle Loftus, to bolster production slates in film and television for APA’s crossover clients including Mary J Blige, Regina Hall, Ms. Pat, Joseph Sikora, Nyle Dimarco, Narratively and Xg Productions.
During her time at APA, Tashman has repped writers and directors including Anything’s Possible scribe Ximena Garcia Lecuona, writing duo Katie J. Stone & David Daitch, Natasza Parzymies, Julie Siege and Joe Sousa.

Exclusive: Rising Polish writer-director Natasza Parzymies (Control) has signed with APA for representation.
