Founder and Founding Members of OurCreativeEdge

A Message from TANYA FRANKS - Founder

Being an Actor / Writer / Producer myself since 1985, I have seen many changes in the profession, including the increase in creative isolation, and experienced professionals feeling sidelined and devalued. I had the idea to  set up OurCreativeEdge to encourage the healthy longevity of creatives in show business through inclusivity, opportunity, and positivity by offering a proactive safe space and network for exploring, creating, and developing projects with other industry professionals who have a similar level of experience.
