Hi - I'm Brett and an independent producer/storyteller. I've used this platform a few times years back and am looking to reengage for some fun new projects. I operate as a one-man-band, own my own equipment (but familiar with multiple cameras/setups if rental gear is required), and have produced three seasons of two different series for national broadcast television. Favorite part of this job is getting to meet and understand new people and ideas, then translating my experience for other's to experience. Thanks for reading.
