Brad Burleson

Brad Burleson is the Producer and Director of Awesome at Content Titan, where he weaves powerful narratives and high-impact video content for clients across Arkansas. A passionate storyteller, Brad serves on the boards of the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival and Low Key Arts—a nonprofit that runs both a year-round film program and an annual festival—mentoring emerging filmmakers and championing independent cinema in the region. Brad’s debut short documentary, Tippi & Barb is a short documentary about Arkansas State Representative Tippi McCullough and her wife, Barbara Mariani. Once fired for being gay, Tippi now fights for equality in the legislature, with Barb by her side. Together, they navigate love, politics, and prejudice in a conservative Southern state. Their story is one of quiet strength, deep commitment, and the power of living authentically. Standalone screenings have been hosted by a former gubernatorial candidate and a state senator—spark meaningful conversations about equality, inclusion, and representation. Beyond Arkansas, Tippi & Barb has screened at prominent festivals in San Francisco, Atlanta, New York, and other cities nationwide, where its honesty and emotional depth are celebrated. Driven by a commitment to amplify underrepresented voices, Brad specializes in bringing stories of marginalized communities to audiences in conservative states—where those messages often need to be heard most—and to more progressive markets, where those narratives are uplifted and embraced. Whether navigating the delicate realities of rural Arkansas or showcasing resilience on a coast-to-coast festival circuit, Brad’s work ensures that every story is told with empathy, respect, and cinematic rigor. By day he produces corporate videos; by night he directs documentaries that foster dialogue, challenge assumptions, and inspire change.
