After gaining a degree in film production and theater at Loyola Marymount University, Brown climbed the Hollywood ladder, eventually becoming Director of Development for Tim Burton Productions. In 2001, she started her own production company Duly Noted, Inc to bring forth projects by both emerging and established filmmakers, and since then has produced Real Women Have Curves, Everyday People, and Rocket Science. The Inheritance, one of the forthcoming films that she produced, stars Golden Brooks.
