Miranda Tapsell was raised in the small town of Jabiru, located in the Kakadu National Park, a protected area in the Northern Territory of Australia.

During her time in Jabiru, she learned about the Larrakia and Tiwi cultures and realized that she really loved performing. Unfortunately, she noticed that not many indigenous people were actors.

MIRANDA TAPSELL’S CAREER

If that wasn’t bad enough, Miranda, 33, also realized that there was mostly a negative narrative surrounding indigenous people. Despite all that, she attended and graduated from Australia’s National Institute of Dramatic Art.

In the early-2010s, she started getting some roles in TV shows and movies, including “Magical Tales,” “The Sapphires,” and “Black Comedy.”

Then, in 2019, Tapsell proved that she is a triple threat by co-writing, producing, and starring in “Top End Wedding” opposite Gwilym Lee.

To write the film, she and her friend, Josh Tyler, combined their love for romantic comedies, Darwin (the capital city of the Northern Territory of Australia), the Tiwi Islands, and the Top End of Australia’s Northern Territory.
