Victory Tischler-Blue (born September 16, 1959) is an American film producer, director, writer, musician and photographer. She was born and raised in Newport Beach, California.

In 2003 Tischler-Blue released Edgeplay: A film about The Runaways. It was picked up by Showtime Networks[3] and Rob Reiner said - “I was mesmerized… This incredibly honest rock documentary film goes to 11”.[4] A 2010 film about The Runaways, starring Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning and Scout Taylor-Compton cites Tischler-Blue's Edgeplay as an inspiration for elements of the film.[5][6][7]
As of 2010, Tischler-Blue was the executive producer of two television programs that premiered in that year, El Guitarrista and The Rarebirds.
Tischler-Blue produced the official music video for Suzi Quatro's "Strict Machine", a track from her 2011 album In the Spotlight. This track is a cover of Goldfrapp's "Strict Machine", but Quatro's version of the song contains two extra lines from her own number one hit "Can the Can" (in order to show the similarity of the two songs' tunes).[8] On November 16, 2011 the official music video was released via the SUZI QUATRO OFFICIAL YouTube channel. It includes live footage from Quatro's Sept/Oct 2011 Rocks The Spotlight Tour of Australia and the extra two lines from "Can the Can".[9]
