ALL THINGS FILMMAKING: Award-Winning Director/Writer/Producer with extensive professional experience ready to help you.

I've worked with Brandon as an Executive Producer on a wide variety of high profile commercials, music videos, and films since 1999 with clients like Nintendo, Converse, Microsoft, SEGA, Sony, and The Walt Disney Company. His work with artists like The Jonas Brothers, Zendaya, and Selena Gomez (to name a few) is impressive.

Brandon was awarded the Cannes Gold Lion for a clip he directed for my company Kaboom Productions and we helped produce his award winning debut film SIRONIA.

Brandon is not only a tremendous and capable filmmaker but a thoughtful and gracious human. He is always seeking to grow in his own talents and experience and does the same for those around him.

He loves film and exudes positivity and enthusiasm. To me- that is key to being a teacher and mentor. I can't recommend him highly enough. (Lauren Schwartz, Owner/EP, kaboom productions)

Brandon is an Awesome teacher! During my Bachelor of Screen Production at the Australian Film Television & Radio School I needed someone IN THE INDUSTRY to help me navigate my studies and independent projects. I had walked into the deep, dark forest of storytelling, a perilous land, and I needed a mentor to help me find my path, and lead me through. Over the past few years Brandon has been doing just that. This year, I am proud to say that I have emerged with my Bachelor in hand, and a full-time job as a Producer on a Documentary series in the USA, working alongside professionals from Hollywood to New York. Let him help you find your path, I'm glad I let him find mine!

List of tangible scenarios from our meetings:

I couldn't clearly articulate my ideas into a compelling Story framework: "Can I tell you about these ideas I have, and could you help me make sense of it in a screenplay?"

- Brandon sat and listened to my messy ideas, and helped draw them out of me in a way that was ordered and ready for the page.

I needed help overcoming logistical issues on set:
"Hey Brandon, I want to make a bedroom turn into a forest but I don't have a million dollar VFX budget... How would you do that?"

- Brandon guided me through a series of real-world experience questions to help me come up with a perfect solution.

I wasn't quite prepared for post-production.

- Brandon helped me map out a plan that was simple, articulating who might want to watch my film, and how we're going to reach them.

It is always a pleasure when Brandon comes to speak with our students. As the Chair of the Department of the Film & Digital Media at Baylor University, I find Brandon is incredibly knowledgeable about filmmaking. He has a passion for storytelling and really knows how the process of making a film works. He also carries with him a generosity of spirit - he truly enjoys teaching and mentoring others.

Students will without a doubt get a tuition bargain having Brandon as their instructor. The man has worked professionally in film, advertising, and music videos around the globe. He has also lived and worked through the sea change from film to digital and now into streaming. He has personally experienced everything in film/production and can teach all of it with a real world perspective students crave.

What you can't see on Brandon's imdb page is his gift for teaching. He has an infectious energy -- whether on a set, in a meeting, sharing a meal, or leading a seminar -- that simply makes everyone feel a part of something. He creates a camaraderie within small groups that never fails to bring the best out of the individuals. I've seen him elevate the people he's leading by pushing them when needed with just the right amount of support so they can take the next step.

I've had the pleasure of hiring Brandon for several projects. On one job in particular, he trained/exemplified for my team what needed to be done so that we could handle all the production ourselves the next year. He successfully made a working classroom (even though it was a professional production job), and my team has put all he taught us into practice now for four seasons of videos.

I think the best example of his ability to teach and engage students remotely/asynchronously is the fact he successfully taught a Improv class over Zoom.

Anyone lucky enough to learn from Brandon will receive invaluable instruction from a working professional with a love for passing his practical knowledge on to others. Highly recommend.
