ABOUT BROOKE TANSLEY
I am a producer, strategist, and cultural leader with 30+ years in the entertainment industry spanning Broadway, film, television, documentary, music, and large-scale live events. My work sits at the intersection of storytelling, economic development, and community impact - bringing together artists, industry leaders, public agencies, and audiences to build stronger creative ecosystems.Across my career, I’ve served as an Executive Producer, Executive-in-Charge of Production, nonprofit founder, organizational leader, grant strategist, and advisor to creative teams and CEOs. I’ve produced nationally recognized media; secured millions in funding; built partnerships across studios, networks, arts organizations, and government; and led teams that bring world-class creative work to life.My passion is helping entertainment communities thrive - by supporting independent creators, strengthening local infrastructure, driving policy and economic opportunity, and amplifying voices across TV, film, music, and the performing arts. I believe a city’s creative sector flourishes when it’s intentionally nurtured, equitably supported, and connected to its people.Today, I continue to develop film and TV projects, advise arts organizations, and champion the growth for communities and organizations. I’m committed to building mutually beneficial systems where artists can build sustainable careers, where entertainment businesses can scale, and where the industry’s impact is felt in neighborhoods.Creative Economy Development | Entertainment Industry Relations | Film & TV Production | Strategic Partnerships | Public–Private Collaboration | Government Relations | Industry Recruitment | Community Engagement | Production Support & Permitting | Location Scouting | Stakeholder Relationship Management | Cultural Policy & Advocacy | Economic Impact & Job Growth | Independent Creators & Small Business Support | Public Communications & Spokesperson Role | Public–Private Partnerships | Strategic Planning & Execution | Economic Impact Analysis | Fundraising & Resource Development | Marketing & Public Relations
