Being a huge lover of film from a very early age, it was common practice for Bryan to experiment with short film making around the home such as; turning the family pet dog into a secret agent, and his video games into commercials. This passion for film continued throughout high school, and upon leaving in 2002, Bryan went onto study Media, English Literature, and Performing arts at Winstanley College. After being offered an opportunity to step into a Bluechip company, Bryan withdrew from studies early in order to peruse an enticing career within the finance industry.

After spending 12 years climbing the corporate ladder, running his own business, and enjoying family life with his wife and 3 beautiful children, Bryan decided that now was the right time to revert back to his original passion and dreams.

His chosen path, was to go back to school and learn the skills required to finally pursue a career in film. Starting a course in TV & Film production at 'Futureworks School of Media' in Manchester in September 2015 was the beginning of a new era for Bryan and his family.

Bryan's passion for film and production spills into family life where he actively involves his family in his film making; casting his wife as the terrifying White lady in his first short film "The White lady", his daughter in two other projects, and his sons, whom both feature in the music Video for Manchester hip Hop act "Dead Kings". He is also working on a short film written specifically for his son, who will star as himself showcasing his free running and parkour skills.

Bryan is continuously working on sets in various roles through a combination of professional and collaborative work, whilst completing his studies. Keen to build on his knowledge and skills quickly in order to assist his development in his late entry into the industry.

Besides writing and directing, Bryan also enjoys producing and editing video content and has built up a reputation within his circles and completed several corporate pieces and editing for other short films.
