About Toni

I am on the producing team at Brookwell McNamara Entertainment with Director, Sean McNamara and his producing partner, David Brookwell.

Coming to theaters in November, we have the multiple award-winning film based on the book by Holocaust survivor Joseph Bau, called "BAU: Artist at War". It stars Emile Hirsch and Inbar Lavi. We are in post-production for a film we shot in my home state of Missouri called "On Fire". The story is based on the autobiography by Inspirational Speaker, John O'Leary. "On Fire" stars William H. Macy, John Corbett, Joel Courtney from Jesus Revolution and Devon Franklin. Our award-winning film, Moonrise is streaming on Sony Affirms Pure Flix, starring country star Granger Smith. Our television series “Shadrach” airs soon on Pure Flix.

I was born in Kansas City, Missouri. I received a BA in Communication from the University of Missouri. My first job was working in promotions at a rock radio station working with the local record reps to promote rock stars such as Guns n Roses, Dokken, Eddie Money and more. From there I ventured into becoming a board operator/sound operator and transitioned to an on-air position with a radio station in Lawrence, Kansas.

I relocated to California to work for a radio station in San Diego in promotions and then on-air. Eventually, I started commuting to LA to work with Executive Producers such as Kevin Misher when he was with Sony & TriStar, and Arthur Smith when he was with Fox Sports West.

I moved to Vegas to start working on set in movies, tv, music videos, game shows and live shows with celebrities such as Sharon Osbourne, Celine Dion, Ben Stiller and Brendan Fraser. I've worked with companies including 20th Century Fox, Miramax, BBC, NBC, VH1, Comedy Central, Bravo, FX and the Travel Channel. My jobs have ranged from Production Coordinator to UPM, Casting Director to Talent Management and Talent Coordinator, Wardrobe to 1st AD.

I've worn many hats and use that experience on every production I work on.
