Meet Leo Dunlevy of Dunlevy Productions: A Visionary in Luxury Media

Entrepreneurship is often seen as a journey filled with challenges, risks, and rewards. Some see obstacles; others see opportunities. Leo Dunlevy, the founder of Dunlevy Productions, is one of those who embrace the journey with passion, persistence, and a clear vision. We had the opportunity to interview Leo to learn more about his entrepreneurial story, the inspiration behind his business, and what’s next for him.

What does being an “entrepreneur” mean to you?

An entrepreneur is someone who sees opportunities where others see obstacles and has the courage to act on it. To me, entrepreneurship means building something meaningful while creating value for others all while being persistent and true to who I am through the highs and lows.

Give us the inside scoop—what sparked your journey into entrepreneurship?

I am the founder of Dunlevy Productions, a media production company here in Nashville working with luxury businesses and brands! I started my business at 15 years old after falling in love with filmmaking in a high school film class. What began as a fun hobby quickly evolved into a business focused on providing value for my clients and helping them market and grow their businesses. I've grown up around entrepreneurs my entire life and I always had the entrepreneurial spirit. With my dad as a serial entrepreneur, my mom as a sales expert, and an aunt, uncle, and grandmother who are all business owners, I was blessed with an amazing support system to help me start and scale my business. My goal was to bring a fresh, modern approach to video content that would actually provide an ROI for my clients, and that's what I did!

What gap does your business fill, and what makes your approach stand out from the rest?

Dunlevy Productions helps luxury businesses and brands stand out through high-quality, attention-grabbing content. We’ve created content for real estate developers and top-producing agents (shoutout Kirklyn), as well as incredible businesses in Nashville—from software companies to luxury gyms. We specialize in short-form marketing that drives engagement and builds trust for our clients' brands. What sets us apart is our commercial production-level approach to short-form content. We spend hours planning during pre-production and provide personalized creative direction every step of the way, setting a new standard in the industry.

What’s one piece of advice that’s been a game-changer for you?

"Relentlessly pursue your goals regardless of others' opinions towards them."

This advice has helped me develop a strong mindset that keeps me grounded and focused, especially when I’m taking risks or doing things differently from the norm. As an entrepreneur, not everyone will understand your vision, and that’s okay. As long as you believe in your goal, that’s what matters most. Stay true to your purpose and keep pushing forward with confidence, even when the support isn’t loud or immediate. Trust me, people are watching your growth, even if it doesn’t always feel like it.

What’s coming up next? Any exciting projects or big goals in the works?

My current goal is to continue growing and scaling Dunlevy Productions by strategically adding new team members and building the best creative team in Nashville. We’re constantly refining our systems to deliver a quality client experience and consistently high-performing content. We’ve got some exciting projects coming up, showcasing incredible brands this year, and I can’t wait to bring them to life. On a personal note, I’m focused on expanding my personal brand and network. I’ll be inducted into Belmont’s Sigma Nu Tau Entrepreneurship Honor Society and will also be featured at Belmont’s Annual Entrepreneurship Awards next week. I'm super excited and grateful for these opportunities. They are a reminder that people do recognize the hard work we put in behind the scenes as entrepreneurs.

Running a business while balancing life—how do you manage it all?

Balancing business, school, and personal life is definitely a challenge, but it's become more manageable over time. I’m a rising senior majoring in Entrepreneurship at Belmont University, so juggling a full course load while running a business requires a lot of organization. Every day, I create a detailed to-do list and time block my schedule, which helps me stay focused and avoid getting overwhelmed. Staying organized is the only way I can make it through a packed day. It keeps me on track and allows me to be as productive (and present) as possible.
