Brian's life has been driven by his deep love for story and the power it has in our lives . That passion has remained constant through Brian's extensive career across the industry working in production, representation and development for a variety of genres and platform.
At Silver Pictures and Dark Castle Entertainment, Brian provided feedback on drafts and dailies for large budget projects such as SUPERFLY, SHERLOCK HOLMES and more. He next went on to Muse Entertainment as the Development Coordinator where he was involved in developing a large slate of projects for Hallmark Channel, Netflix, Apple, Amazon and HBO. Most notably he worked on adapting The Martha Vineyard Mysteries into the highest rated Hallmark mystery series yet, as well as developed multiple treatments that were purchased for development.
After the pandemic, Brian moved over to Lionsgate Television, working in development for the established studio and streaming platform (Starz). He worked on current series like MINX, GHOSTS, MYTHIC QUEST and ACAPULCO, as well as developing new ones like THE CONTINENTAL and MANHUNT.
Brian now works at Participant Media in Content & Platform Strategy, which entails evaluating episodic, feature and documentary projects in an ever-changing industry and finding unique pathways to get them made.
Brian was AMAZING! It's clear he's put in his 10,000+ hours in the biz. His notes were not only helpful, but they sparked great ideas that we batted back and forth. He helped make my pilot better by just talking through it! He expressed genuine enthusiasm about me and my writing, this particular pilot, and asked me to send him other materials. Yay!

Brian is now my go to for early draft work, his analysis and ideas are very useful without overpowering the original intent of the material. I would not hesitate to recommend Brian when you have a good draft that you want to turn into a great draft.
