Joan Tankersley - Creative Producer
Joan Tankersley, founder of Five Key Collective, is a Nashville-based creative producer with over three decades of experience as an innovative leader in entertainment and media. Her career began as an award-winning creative director in the music industry, which laid the foundation for her passion for large-scale productions. Over the years, she has expanded her expertise to include production design and wardrobe supervision for touring, broadcasting, and stage productions, rounding out her skills in the entertainment industry.
After co-partnering a commercial recording studio and a video production company in Texas that focused on video production and brand strategies for Fortune 500 companies, she honed her writing, directing, and producing abilities. This journey ultimately led to the launch of Five Key Collective as a film production and development company.
5KC is on the brink of exciting developments with our diverse properties spanning Film, Episodic, and Musical Theater. Having filmed and worked across the US, Mexico, Africa, Central America, France, and the Caribbean, we are eager to embrace storytelling that resonates beyond the domestic audience, while staying true to a creative core that honors God and embraces biblical truth.
Recently, we’ve navigated the role of Sales Agent and Marketing Showrunner for a remarkable French-Christian feature documentary series, with its successful theatrical release during the late pandemic, which continues to capture audiences around the globe.
We are grateful for the dance-musical stage production, Esther, featuring Sharna Burgess from D.W.T.S. fame reaching its milestone for a regional production. After its premiere at the esteemed A.D. Players in Houston, TX, we can't wait to see it make its way to Broadway!
In 2025, 5KC is excited about the prospects of refining four promising properties and launching a new pitch to secure distribution and funding partners for these in-house developed projects.
This is an exciting time to be a Christian filmmaker, and we warmly invite you to join us on this incredible journey. We believe God has an amazing way of turning everyday lives into extraordinary stories. Stay tuned for the remarkable experiences that lie ahead!
