Director Biography - Brooklyn Rice

I'm a Junior majoring in Cinematic Arts at McCallum Fine Arts Academy in Austin, TX. The Boy was my first real project submitted to film festivals. It has won several Best Film awards from festivals such as Austin Indie Fest and Houston World. I have worked in many different genres: narratives, noir, comedy, German expressionism, etc. I have been wanting to join the film industry ever since I was very little and to be able to be considered for film festivals is such an honor. If I could, I would spend every day writing scripts and making movies.
