Tia A. Smith
Tia A. Smith is an award-winning executive producer, director, and creative consultant whose storytelling is as personal as it is powerful. Known for blending vision with heart, she has become one of the industry’s most sought-after creatives—building worlds on screen that resonate deeply with audiences while opening doors for fresh narratives to thrive.
With a career that spans film, television, documentaries, live events, and branded campaigns, Tia brings a rare duality to her work: the eye of a director who knows how to move an audience, and the leadership of an executive who knows how to move an industry. She has produced more than 4,500 hours of content, from scripted films and hit television movies to thought-provoking documentaries and groundbreaking lifestyle programming.
Her recent work reflects that range and vision: directing and producing Truthing with Randi B on Prime Video, one of the platform’s most watched lifestyle series; helming the short film The Heir, now entering the festival circuit; and leading international productions such as Hallmark’s reimagined Sense & Sensibility, filmed across Bulgaria and Ireland, praised for its bold and inclusive storytelling.
Tia’s impact has been recognized at the highest levels. She received the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award and Medal from President Joe Biden, the Trailblazer Award from the African American Women in Cinema, and a Proclamation and Day of Recognition from the City of New York for her contributions to culture and community. As a National Member-At-Large of the Producers Guild of America, she represented the Guild at the United Nations’ Commission on the Status of Women Summit, speaking on “The Role of the Producer” in advancing equity through storytelling.
In addition to serving as a judge for the Emmys, NAACP Image Awards, and New York Film Festivals, Tia sits on several national boards including the Producers Guild of America, Black Girls Film Camp, the Gospel Music Association, the Black Country Music Association, and the Recording Academy. She also leads two purpose-driven companies—talentedSOL Productions and Heir Bloom Entertainment—dedicated to creating stories that carry meaning, spark dialogue, and reach audiences worldwide.
At the core of her work is a belief that storytelling is legacy. Whether she’s directing a scene, producing a film, or mentoring the next generation, Tia brings passion, precision, and purpose to every project—proving that great stories don’t just entertain, they transform.
