Tiffany Lauren Bennicke: Shining a Light on Mental Health Through Film
In partnership with Purple Bite
By Sofia Gibson
Tiffany Lauren Bennicke dives headfirst into the delicate yet urgent topic of mental health in her groundbreaking filmmaking debut, But I Want to Leave the Party. This masterful piece unapologetically explores the vulnerabilities of depression and the weight of suicidal thoughts. By fearlessly addressing topics that many shy away from, Bennicke creates an intimate, thought-provoking connection with her audience.
From Self-Starter to Award-Winning Filmmaker
As the writer, producer, and lead actress of her film, Tiffany achieved the extraordinary. In less than three years, with a small but dedicated team, her project has earned numerous awards and multiple nominations.
“I was just tired of waiting for someone else to hire me, so I had to take matters into my own hands and I hired myself.” Bennicke shared in a recent interview with Mundane. She emphasized the film’s message: while mental health has been explored in cinema, it’s still shrouded in shame and mystery—barriers that must be dismantled once and for all.
Drawing from her own experiences, Tiffany crafted a film designed to reopen the conversation around mental health. Her goal? To empower those struggling to seek help and educate their loved ones on how to offer meaningful support during what can be a complex journey.
What’s Next for Leave The Party Films™
Thanks to the overwhelming and unexpected success of her first film, Bennicke is now setting her sights higher. At the helm of her production company, Leave The Party Films™, Inc., she has already embarked on several ambitious projects. These include a documentary, an anthology series, and some animated productions.
Looking at her body of work and the immense success of her first major project, it’s clear that Tiffany Lauren Bennicke is poised to become a role model for aspiring filmmakers. Keep her on your radar—this is just the beginning.
