Brendan was born and raised in the East Bay and is much better at making movies than he is at writing bios, especially in the third person.

He has been making movies since he could hold a camera, but the guy is nothing if not a writer (again, not of bios). Without any connections to speak of he left his home for Hollywood and schmoozed his way into becoming a teenage script reader. After putting in his Tinsel Town time he ran off to NYC and snuck onto his first film set . Something of a crew mascot, the adults on the call sheet argued over whether he should go to film school or just keep working now that his foot was jammed in the door.

Twelve years later his resume includes a self-produced feature film, a bevy of shorts, music videos and fashion/dance films, a handful of high-profile NYFW shows as Tech Director, and no college degree. The guy is nothing if not a self-starter—wait, no. The guy is… you know what? I’m just gonna hit the return key and carry on as if I was totally crushing this bio.

Brendan has returned to the Bay a Sr. Creative Director at Gritty Dove with a drawer full of (two) features, (three) pilots, a stack of treatments, and a rubber-stamped guarantee that they are all better than this bio.

And he would like me to thank you for your time. So, thank you.
