With a strong background in storytelling as well as production strategy, Brandon has built a career spanning almost 30 years starting in broadcast news and currently working in film, television, and new media.
He is a consummate student of the world and is constantly learning new methods and approaches to making his productions run more efficiently and effectively without compromising the quality of services and products.
He began his career as a production assistant at AFN (Armed Forces Network) in Vicenza, Italy in 1994. Upon moving to the United States to attend the University of Georgia, he began working at Channel 13 WMAZ as a production assistant and audio technician.
While his production career was blossoming Brandon also took his talents to the stage acting professionally for Equity playhouses in the southeast such as Aurora Theatre, Atlanta Shakespeare Company, and the Regional Tony Award winning Alliance Theatre Company. Brandon’s social activism took center stage from 2006-2010 when he founded the non-profit Uzupis Theatre Company in Athens, GA, which produced plays for social change, focusing on issues such as poverty and suicide. The company embraced stories and issues that affect a community as a whole. After acting in a few national commercials Brandon turned his focus upon producing photography, commercials, and videos. Brandon kept steady during the 00s and 10s working in Miami, New York, Los Angeles, and Atlanta producing for major clients like PopSugar, H&M, Broadway, Harper’s Bizarre, Seventeen Magazine, InStyle Magazine, Michael Strahan, SkinnyGirl Brands, Anthropologie, and many more.
"Stories have a way of transcending time, space, and geographical borders while uniting humanity through shared experiences. It has been my sole focus as a content creator to allow these stories to help shape our lives and connect us throughout the globe.
I believe every story matters, every voice deserves to be heard. It is my mission and dream to revolutionize media and create a world where inclusivity is the norm, authentic conversations are a standard, and typical barriers to entry neither determine the veracity nor the capability of sharing these stories to a larger audience."

The film won multiple awards including Festival Favorite at Cinema Diverse: Palm Springs LGBT Film Festival, Audience Award Best First-Time Director at Qflix Philadelphia, and Runner- Up Jury Award Best Feature at Springfield LGBT Film Festival. It is currently available on Amazon Prime.
His second film, Latter-Day Glory, a documentary about the high rise in suicide among LGBT Mormon youth is set to be re-released in Fall 2022. Brandon’s company Social Evolution Media recently began pre-production for his third feature Kitty about homeless queer youth in Atlanta. He holds an MA in film from Georgia State University, a BA in Theatre and a BBA in Business Management both from the University of Georgia.
In 2015 Brandon produced and directed his first feature film Proxy and has gone on to produce television, documentaries, and films. His company, Social Evolution Media, was founded in 2019. Social Evolution Media creates quality, socially-conscious media that inspires, educates, and entertains while shining light on the real stories of marginalized people.
He is currently in development for a new show, Young Bless America which features Young Bae from Black Ink Crew. The series follows Young as she travels across America to tattoo her biggest fans, learn about the nation’s history, and confront the biggest challenges that everyday Americans face today.
Brandon is also in development for an upcoming feature film, Kitty, which tells the story of a trans black girl’s journey back home juxtaposed to a homeless, gay teen’s fall into a downward spiral. More than a sordid story about homeless youth, it is a dark fairytale with monsters lurking in the shadows and princesses becoming warriors. Kitty shines an honest light on the lives of homeless queer youth while giving them hope, inspiration, and redemption.
