Victory Tischler-Blue is an American film producer, director, writer
and photographer, best known for her powerful and disturbing 2005 debut
feature film "Edgeplay: A film about the Runaways". The film was based
on Tischler-Blue's tenure in the seminal 1970s all-girl teenage rock
band the Runaways, which also launched the careers of future rock
superstars Lita Ford and Joan Jett.
Born and raised in Newport Beach, California, Tischler-Blue began working in the entertainment industry at age 17, when she joined the Runaways. Even though the band was only in existence for 3 1/2 years, the impact of the Runaways forever changed the face of rock n' roll and is still felt in the music industry today.
After the demise of the band, Victory Tischler-Blue was cast by director Rob Reiner in the comedy classic "This Is Spinal Tap," and was so inspired by the entire filmmaking process that she soon shifted her focus from music to motion pictures. Working alongside Academy Award winner Rob Blalack (Star Wars), Victory honed her skills in the innovative world of high-end visual effects before settling into a producer role.
In 2003 Tischler-Blue formed Sacred Dogs Entertainment Group, LLC, a motion picture production company. "Edgeplay: A film about the Runaways," her critically acclaimed documentary debut was picked up by Showtime Networks, where it ran for two years, with over 200 screenings, and which later enjoyed similar DVD success.
2010 sees the release of another feature film about the band: "The Runaways," stars Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning and Scout Taylor-Compton, and is directed by Floria Sigismondi, who cites Tischler-Blue's "Edgeplay" as an inspiration for elements of her film.
Tischler-Blue was hand picked by Bee Gee Robin Gibb to executive produce the network special: The Bee Gees "Unbroken Fever" - The 30th Anniversary of Saturday Night Fever, and has just wrapped production on "Naked Under Leather," a film about 1970s leather-clad glam rocker Suzi Quatro, which is slated for a 2010 release.
Tischler-Blue is currently executive producing two new television series: "El Guitarrista" on which she is working with producer/songwriter Dick Wagner and the eerie, edgy episodic drama "Rarebirds."
Tischler-Blue is also developing a film and book project celebrating the life and work of 1960s male physique photographer Mel Roberts.
A talented photographer, Tischler-Blue has been manipulating light and creating dramatic single-frame tableaux for the past two decades. Best known for her intimate celebrity portraits, stark, surreal desert landscapes and images of pure Spanish horses, she will be publishing a photography book titled "Pura Raza Testosterone" depicting the raw, primal beauty of Andalusian Stallions in 2010.
Q3/2010 will also see the launch of "Desert Seven", Tischler-Blue's new internet television network consisting of a diverse line-up of streamed content with a focus on episodic web dramas produced and directed by many of the industry's leading and most innovative filmmakers.
