About Anthony:
Anthony Tackett has worked 21 years as a storyteller and filmmaker for organizations such as UW, Live Nation, Microsoft, Amazon, Africatown, Rainer Avenue Radio, One Vibe Africa, etc. His company, Abstract Media's focus is to uplift and empower his clients to realize their vision and help build their brand.
He is currently serving on the board of the Seattle Film Task Force who’s mission is to help reshape and restore the Washington Film Commission to better serve an equitable film community. He stepped down as co-chair but is still on the board and focuses on the DEI conversation as it is a major problem in Seattle. Tackett is also the Founder of the Seattle Filmmakers of the African Diaspora (411 strong) which provides a space for Black filmmakers who want a larger network, more resources, and gain (or share) wisdom in the craft. We hold workshops on Producing, Distribution, Camera technology, etc. It has helped people realize their vision and inspired many productions around the world.
As volunteer he has helped restore Life Enrichment Bookstore, consulted Africatown’s Media Team, assisted in the launching of Rainer Avenue Radio, taught production classes to the youth and elders of the community, and is currently attending classes at The Evergreen State College Tacoma.
