Life’s too short not to tell the stories that matter most. From the heart of Arkansas, I’m here to show that with a little passion, a lot of grit, and a great community, we can create stories that move people and inspire change.
Brad Burleson is a tenth-generation Arkansan and a community leader from Hot Springs whose career spans corporate management, non-profit event production, and filmmaking. He holds the role of Producer and Director of Awesome at Content Titan, a Little Rock-based video production company specializing in dynamic storytelling. Over his 25-year career in corporate and non-profit sectors, Brad made a seamless transition into the world of filmmaking in 2022. His documentary directorial debut, Tippi & Barb, premiered to a sold-out audience at the 2024 Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival, marking a significant milestone in his career.
Brad’s passion for storytelling is matched by his dedication to uplifting his community. He has served on numerous non-profit boards, teaching high school students about fundraising, grant-making, and the power of civic involvement. As a key figure in regional events such as the World's Shortest St. Patrick's Day Parade and the World Championship Running of the Tubs, Brad is known for fostering community engagement and creativity.
His involvement extends to being a product of Low Key Arts' 'Inception to Projection' program, where he developed Tippi & Barb, and serving on their board as well as serving on the board of the Hot Springs Documentary Film Institute, to support arts and culture in Arkansas. With a deep love for his state and a passion for its people, Brad believes that impactful stories can drive change and inspire others to act.
In his free time, Brad enjoys kayaking, biking, and discovering the hidden gems of Arkansas with his partner, Dylan, and their beloved dog, Cooper. This connection to the local and regional community continually shapes his storytelling, weaving relatable narratives that resonate with audiences near and far.
