Theatre

Resolute Gopher president Tim Hildebrand brings 27 years of professional theatre experience to Nashville as a multi-produced playwright, a working finalist at Lee Strasberg’s famous Actors Studio in Los Angeles and New York, and an Ovation best actor nominee.

We work with companies and individuals to write, dramaturg, direct and produce engaging, heart-affirming theatre in Nashville and Los Angeles.

Resolute Gopher brings production experience across every skill level and age group, from theatre for young audiences to full Equity productions. We strive to enter any creative context with sensitivity and understanding. If you’re looking for help mounting a play, hit the “contact us” button at the top right of this page.

Empowerment Through The Arts

We have extensive experience creating curriculum and running performing arts programs for at-risk youth. Our staff have worked with public and private school systems, Family Service, young offender programs and drug rehabilitation centers offering theatre classes that teach work and social skills through the arts.

It’s a company priority to operate in spaces where hurting people need help to see their own value and potential. We use activities that create the experience of success while still offering enough challenge to stir a sense of achievement, in a highly affirming environment. For obvious reasons the classes are most successful with young and old alike who have been identified as having artistic potential. The experience of using untapped giftings can open doors of self-worth and create new hope.

TV Commercial Production

We specialize in creating short, memorable tv and internet spots that get your future customers laughing…and thinking. We’ll sit down to learn what you do and pitch ideas to you for how best to get that across to the public. Once we agree on a script, the appropriate team is assembled and we go into production.

At all points in the process you’ll be involved and consulted. We also have digital marketing partners we can refer you to, to get these ads up and running where people will watch them. Let’s get you seen.

We love collaborating with creators of all types on projects that inspire. We can help you with every stage of your project…from dramaturging your screenplay, to assembling a full production team to bring it to life.

Our short films have been accepted into festivals from LA (LA Awareness Festival) to France (Cannes Short Film Corner). We’re excited about the relationships we’re building with Nashville-area location scouts and sound stages to make any dream a reality. Wanna make a film? Let’s do it!
