Terra Wellington is an American actress, writer, producer, and songwriter. She is the producer and writer for the sci-fi thriller feature, "Habitable," set in 2040.
"Habitable is simultaneously terrifying and gut-wrenchingly familiar, but the writer weaves a delicate thread of hope within the catastrophic story. Each scene carefully boosts tension, with clear high stakes even as those stakes shift with each new element...the writer deftly reveals how human behavior adapts under the weight of these new circumstances and that is where the greatest terror lies." - The Black List
She is also the executive producer and creator of the one-hour supernatural drama television series "Magnolia Hill" (PGA Create Finalist 2022; Finalist Catalyst Content Festival 2024; Quarterfinalist at CineStory, Screencraft, & BAFF) and the half-hour paranormal drama "Two Santa Anas" (Finalist Catalyst Content Festival 2024; 2nd Rounder Launch Pad, BAFF Official Selection) based on the short story "Two Santa Anas."
Her start as a young writer and performer began in Chicago, in speech and concert piano competitions, along with student journalism and a love for international cinema. Her parents have English, Irish, German, and French ancestry. Her father was a celebrated organist and pianist, and her mother is a writer and illustrator.
She cultivated her acting talents through extensive performing and training in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and the UK, including with Gregory Berger-Sobeck of Yale University. She has worked in both television and film, predominantly as a lead in indie films portraying sophisticated women in uncertain, vulnerable situations.
Terra is also the author of two climate-action books: author of "The Mom's Guide to Growing Your Family Green: Saving the Earth Begins at Home" (St. Martin's Press) and chapter contributor to "The Reducetarian Solution" (TarcherPerigee). Known for her wellness and environmental activism, she has appeared in over 2000 morning TV guest interviews.
