Tammi made her narrative feature debut with her Fair Chase producer, Christopher Alender, the supernatural western The Wind (2018), written by Teresa Sutherland, co-starring Caitlin Gerard, Ashley Zukerman, Julia Goldani Telles, and Miles Anderson, and released by IFC Midnight after premiering at the Sundance Film Festival. Tammi had her career breakthrough as director/co-writer of Five Nights at Freddy’s (2023), Blumhouse Productions’ supernatural horror movie adapted from creator/producer Scott Cawthorn’s video game series (by Tammi, Cawthorn, Seth Cuddeback, Chris Lee Hill and Tyler MacIntyre), starring Josh Hutcherson, Piper Rubio, Elizabeth Lail, Matthew Lillard and Mary Stuart Masterson, and grossing a knockout $292 million box office for Universal Pictures. Tammi returned as director only of the sequel, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 (2025), once again written by Cawthorn and produced by Cawthorn and Blum, and featuring new cast members Wayne Knight, Teo Briones, McKenna Grace, Skeet Ulrich, Kellen Golf, and Megan Fox, and released wide by Universal Pictures.
