A life of movement, service, and storytelling.
Meet Frances
Born in Arizona (November 1982), Frances Terwilliger’s life has traced a wide map — Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Minnesota, Korea, Belgium, England, and now Ohio. Fresh out of high school she enlisted in the U.S. Army (late 2002), serving as an intelligence analyst with the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade (Fort Campbell, KY). Deployed to Iraq, Frances completed her service honorably in 2007.
After transitioning to civilian life, Frances learned the craft of operational leadership working for Domino’s — rising from delivery driver to multi-store supervisor, at times overseeing up to 12 locations. That real-world grit now fuels her creative pursuits.
In 2025, following a major personal life change, Frances redirected her energy toward the arts. She started small — supporting friends on proof-of-concept trailers and short projects — and stepped into on-screen roles. Her earliest screen credits include the feature Solstice (background actress, Aug 2025), a guest appearance as a nun on the YouTube series Whisperer (Episode 2), and a role as a cult member in Ms. Fenton (post-production). She has also taken on a production assistant role for the feature Machiavelli.
