Brooke Trantor

Overview

Brooke Trantor was born and raised in the small town of Quincy, IL. She moved to Los Angeles after receiving her BFA in Acting from Illinois Wesleyan University, and studying Shakespeare at The British American Drama Academy in London. While Brooke found her love for Shakespeare in London, her true passion lies in the improv and comedy world. She has studied and performed at Second City, UCB, Groundlings, and iO West. Some of her recent acting credits include NBC's "The Enemy Within", TNT's "Cocaine Cowboys Pilot", a lead in the comedy feature film "Misfits", and being in absolute awe acting alongside Shirley MacLaine in "The Last Word".

Brooke began her filmmaking journey in 2014, and has found such joy in the collaborative world of independent film. "Night Four" (Co-Written & starring Elizabeth Gwynne Wilson, Directed by Chris Dougherty) toured the world through the festival circuit, including screening at the esteemed Outfest at the DGA in Los Angeles. "Yours are Mine" (Director / Actor / Producer / Writer) also went around the globe on the festival circuit and procured several awards including Best Director, Best Actress, and the Powerful Voice Award at Blackbird Film Festival 2019. Her comedy series "Botanical Baes" was featured in The LA Times, and depicts the comedic lunacy of her own plant addiction through the Plant Mom characters Stacey and Canyon (Co-created by Erin McDonnell). Her latest film, "Oh, Baby!" (Co-Written by Kate Morgan Chadwick) premiered at the Academy Award-qualifying Florida Film Festival, iNDIE Film Festival (Winner, Best Comedy), Blackbird Film Festival 2020 (Winner, Audience Choice), and won Best Short Film: Audience Award 2021 at the esteemed Dances With Films LA & Best Director at Broad Humor Film Festival (2023).

Brooke is drawn to scripts that tend to live in the dramedy world. Her work focuses on finding the comedy in life’s seemingly dark moments. She is currently in development on a single-camera comedy "Wild Woman", a series spin off of "Oh, Baby!", a comedy-horror feature, and in post-production on several short films.
