I had the pleasure of working with Terra on “Mississippi Requiem.” She is a talented, hard-working, and genuine person. Terra was a pleasure to work with and I’d hire her again!

Oliver Granö, Director

Terra is an experienced, knowledgeable and dedicated industry professional that is always looking to broaden her horizons. She has the ability to adapt to any situation.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Terra Wellington for several years on various sides of the industry. Terra was the utmost professional and always able to keep a smile on her face and remain a pleasant and positive professional to work with.

Belle Adams, Actor, Disney's BLESS THIS MESS

Terra is an undercover genius and oddball. I’ve had the pleasure of watching her perform, and collaborating alongside her. She has great elegance, incredible posture, and articulates herself with a crisp and intellectual ease. But, those qualities could be surmised by a photograph of Terra. It’s her mysterious oddities that caught me off guard. Her quick and understated humor, her flashes of strangeness, her ability to take loose ends and tie them up in a way you’d never imagine could work, and her flares of pure artistry when a fresh moment of possibility presents itself. Then, with all of that, Terra manages graciousness, promptness and tireless dedication to her work and relationships. She’s a creature of many depths, and something tells me that someday she’ll sneak up and bring us all to life.
