Anaïs Tellenne was born in 1987 in Paris. After training as an actress, she performed at the Théâtre National de Nice and went on to appear in television series and popular film comedies.

Passionate about writing, she also works as an author. She has written columns for print magazines, television programs, and at the request of a choreographer, adapted a fantasy novel into a classical ballet libretto.

At the age of 22, she directed her first stage production and taught drama to children and teenagers. While continuing her acting career, her growing experience on film sets sparked a passion for directing. Self-taught, she decided to move behind the camera after a serious accident on set. While convalescing, she wrote the short film 19 juin about George Sand, produced by Caméra Subjective and supported by the CNC, France 2, and the SACEM, which secured her representation as a director with the VMA agency.

She then co-wrote and co-directed with Zoran Boukherma the short film Le Mal Bleu (produced by Insolence Productions, supported by CNC, ARTE, and ADAMI). Her third short film, Modern Jazz, world premiered in competition at the Colcoa Festival in Los Angeles.

She is currently writing a medium-length film, Le Rêve américain, developing a series project with the production company 3e Œil, and collaborating on feature film scripts with Louise Hémon and Nicolas Leborgne. Her first feature film, Du grand feu ne reste que les braises, starring Raphaël Thierry, was developed as part of the Groupe Ouest Annual Selection
