ABOUT

Brendan began working with Derek on videos back in middle school. The videos were generally goofy home made videos or small school projects, but they laid a surprisingly strong foundation for their future.

Through many years together, Derek & Brendan have progressed from these simple roots to making professional documentaries, wedding videos, business promos, and even writing and filming for local creators.

Brendan's job on the team is generally camera crew, script editor, and acting. He does what he can to learn new roles and fill in where needed. Brendan is always looking forward to the next film challenge.
