Dalene Stuteville

Born in Australia to U.S. citizens (non-military) Dalene was raised as much on the BBC as NBC and with that came a huge appreciation for diversity.

She started writing for stage in high school and then college and beyond. She's led or been part of Creative Arts teams with both large and small budgets ($500-$550,000) as producer, director, writer and duct tape holder. She's taught speech and acting to children

Her first degree was in microbiology. Until she lit her chemistry lab partner's hair on fire she was pursuing a career in medicine like her father. Finishing with a degree in microbiology, she married, raised 4 children and worked in healthcare while finishing degree number two in business. For the last, almost 20 years, she's worked in Business Intelligence Consulting and Corporate Finance where she's had the amazing opportunity to connect Producers and A-listers to entertainment investors looking to fund big budget films ($45M+). She now works with investment brokers and investors as well as Production Studios to match filmmakers with funding. She is currently funding $10M - $100M slates of films.

An accomplished pianist, bodyartist, screenwriter, producer, director over the last 30 ish years, she's now looking forward to connecting to the new era of film. She and her business partner of 15 years own a consulting company to provide a holistic creative strategy to artists, singer songwriters, MUA's and body artists, writers, and performers who want a fulfilling and profitable career in the arts. She and her business partner are now following their dream to build a production company in the MidWest.
