Tackle Box Films

What Tackle Box Films does

TackleBox Films is a full-service TV, film, and digital production company headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee. Founded in 2001 by Shaun Silva after an 11-year directorial career in Los Angeles, the company offers end-to-end production across live events, episodic programming, unscripted content, documentaries, music videos, commercials, and digital content, with integrated brand and creative development from concept through delivery. Its client base spans major broadcast and cable networks (ESPN/30 for 30, ABC, NBC, Apple TV, SEC Network, HGTV, DIY Network, Complex Networks, AT&T Audience Network), premium country and mainstream recording artists (Kenny Chesney, Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Carrie Underwood, Old Dominion, Kelsea Ballerini, Randy Travis), and corporate advertisers (Geico, RAM Trucks, McDonald's, REI, Five Guys, Weber Grills).

The company's production stack comprises standard industry tools — Avid, Adobe Premiere, and Final Cut Pro — supported by 10 in-house edit stations and 4K broadcast and digital delivery capability. Post-production is partly handled in-house and partly through a partnership with Forward for edit and equipment rental services. The company's portfolio includes Emmy-nominated feature-length sports and music documentaries, award-winning music videos, and cumulative content exceeding 1 billion views across all platforms. Recent marquee work includes Kenny Chesney's 2025 Live at Sphere Las Vegas residency production and the SEC Storied documentary series.

TackleBox Films operates a sales-led, relationship-driven go-to-market model targeting enterprise clients on a project basis, with revenue derived primarily from one-time production fees for TV/film/documentary, music video, and commercial work. A small direct-to-consumer merchandise line (caps, hoodies, t-shirts) sold through the company's e-commerce storefront provides a secondary revenue stream. The company is privately held, founder-owned, bootstrapped, and operates with 11–50 employees. Its senior leadership includes four department heads (In-House Services, Unscripted Content & Development, Account Services, Commercial Development) and a director bench spanning documentary, commercial, and comedy formats.
