Sydney Brey is a drawing-designing-antiquing-creating-storytelling-figure skating-stereoscopic photo-taking screenwriter whose passions lie in crafting a good story and abusing the thesaurus. A graduate of the animation department at the School of Visual Arts, Sydney has spent the last year working on her senior thesis project, a historical western TV show named No Man’s Land.
When not writing, Sydney can be found collecting 19th-century tintypes, archiving her View-Master collection, or teaching kids how to stand up on shoe-knives (colloquially known as the “ice skate”). Creative inspiration can come from anywhere, so she believes in having a varied and ever-expanding skill set (at least that’s the excuse she uses for taking up so many strange hobbies). No matter what she’s doing (like say, writing a brief bio), she is always on the lookout for ways to entertain and captivate an audience.
