Bankable Productions, the entertainment company founded by Emmy-winning television producer, host, entrepreneur and supermodel Tyra Banks, is relaunching as SMiZE Productions, a nod to her globally expanding, impact-driven ice cream company, SMiZE & Dream with locations in Australia (coming January 2024) and Dubai.
