About Brendan

Brendan is a passionate filmmaker and director. His talents are in the technical fields of filmmaking, from directing to cinematography. His extensive technical background contributes to his original and collaborative works, which are known for their visually pleasing plots and alluring sequences.

Born and raised in New Jersey, he was inspired by movies at a young age. Stanley Kubrick, Terrence Malick, and Peter Jackson captivated him, and in turn, he knew he wanted to be a filmmaker.

When Brendan turned 16, he moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he continued to hone his craft. During his high school years he worked to perfect his lighting and camera work skills, and more importantly, he begun to pursue the role of director. His debut short film "The Door Kept Shut" was released in 2013, followed by his next short, the dark comedy, "Written by Quincy O'Neal."
