🚀 New site. New film. New chapter.


👋🏼 Hey Reader!

Apparently I’m in launch season. 🚀 First, a dark and twisty movie in which I play the mom whose world unravels is now streaming. Second, a shiny new corner of the internet I’ve been building behind the scenes is LIVE. And both are finally ready for you!

Here's the 🎯 TL;DR

🎬 Homewrecker (the movie I’m in) is now streaming — catch it on Amazon + Apple TV 📺

🛜 My brand-new website is live — a shiny hub for my acting, coaching, and client wins.

Ok, those are the bullet points! 🎯

But please keep reading for more deets and of course the email's installment of "Hot Off My Brain 🧠 & Other Good 💩"


HOMEWRECKER

When Megan’s dream of owning a home collapses after her stepdad’s temper sparks a lawsuit, her mom is no longer in a position to buy her a six-figure house. Instead of acceptance, Megan turns her heartbreak into vengeance—using deepfake technology to frame him for infidelity. The result? A twisted unraveling that shatters her mother’s world.

It’s dark, suspenseful, and eerily of-the-moment…

The Team:

Cast: Reilly Anspaugh, Daniel Rashid, Bradley Snedeker, Adria Tennor (that's me!), Jorji Diaz Fadel, Manny Spero
Director & Screenwriter: Dante Marino
Cinematographer: Ross Warr

🗣️ Let me know if you watch! I'd love to hear your review! (I mean, only if it's good. 😜)


🔗 NEW WEBSITE

After months of work behind the scenes with a designer and copywriter, my new site is finally live — and it feels like a fresh chapter. 🎉 Along with my acting work, I’ve been expanding my coaching business, helping actors book more roles and entrepreneurs find their voice in high-stakes rooms. The site gives a peek at what I’m offering now (classes, 1:1 coaching, and more), plus some very cool client wins and testimonial videos I’m proud to share.

I'd love for you to take a look, poke around, and let me know what you think — it’s all here: https://www.adriatennor.com/


Hot Off My Brain 🧠 & Other Good 💩
This is a curated list of tools, reads, and rituals that I’m genuinely obsessed with right now. Some of these links are affiliate, but I’ll always flag them with a 💸 so you know—and I will only ever share stuff I truly love and actually use. Your trust is worth way more to me than a few ill-gotten shekels towards my lukewarm ass-tasting mushroom latte fund, I swear! ✋🏼

☕️ What I’m Drinking: Strong Coffee 💸
→ Speaking of lattes—I’m obsessed with this silky instant protein coffee. It’s spiked with L-theanine so my brain is sharp but my hands aren’t jazz-handing. Honestly, it’s like a barista and a chill therapist teamed up in my mug: creamy “carbonated energy” without the jitters. I get latte-level taste, hair/skin-happy collagen, and that smooth focus that keeps me productive instead of feral. Hazelnut mocha = dessert-for-breakfast energy, minus the crash. 10/10 would sip before taping, coaching, or conquering inbox dragons. Collagen makes it creamy, my schedule makes it necessary. It’s giving: cozy café date + get-sh*t-done energy.

🎥 What I’m Watching: Everything at the Telluride Film Festival
→ Because I finally got to go! 🎉 This has been on my bucket list for over a decade, and let me tell you: totally worth the wait. Telluride itself is jaw-droppingly gorgeous, and the films felt like the soul-booster I needed, still hanging out in my dreams and subconscious...
My top two:
🎬 Chloe Zhao’s Hamnet—a haunting, intimate look at Shakespeare’s early family life (bring tissues).
🎬 Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere—with Jeremy Allen White + Jeremy Strong, diving into the raw making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska album. If you’re a Boss fan, this one’s a communion wafer. 🙏🏼
Bonus highlights: dinners at There bar and The National — chef-driven menus + mountain views = the kind of scene you never want to fade out.

📚 What I’m Reading:101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think 💸 by Brianna Wiest. This one’s a gem because it’s made up of bite-sized reads—you can down with your morning (Strong) coffee to kickstart your brain, or sneak one in at night when you’re winding down (without sacrificing your sleep). Each piece is short, sharp, and somehow manages to sneak into the cracks of your thinking in the best way. It’s like a mental reset button—manageable, digestible, and still packed with aha’s.


✨ That’s all from me this week — two launches, a film fest, and enough coffee to power a small village.

It feels a little surreal, but also worth pausing to celebrate 🥳 . Thanks for being here and letting me share not just the big news, but also the little obsessions that keep me inspired behind the scenes.
