Joe Shanley - Executive Producer

Joe has a degree in Corporate Finance and has had an entrepreneurial background for over 17 years. He co-founded Telink Telephone Systems in 1988, which specialized in inmate communications for correctional facilities. He sold the company in 1991 and entered the mortgage industry. As a mortgage broker Joe has consistently ranked as a top producer by the Mortgage Bankers Association of Georgia and has received the Platinum Award for Annual Production on numerous occasions. Away from his corporate mortgage life Joe’s acting experience goes back to the days of high school plays, local theatre, small parts in several movies filmed in GA, stand up routines, improv theatre, and writing sketch comedy. Over the last four years Joe began financing various short film projects. This was Joe’s inspiration and led to the formation of Between Films Entertainment.
