Director Biography - Joanna Maria Bronson, Brent Harvey

Hailing from the vibrant embrace of Miami, I bring a mix of Colombian, Spanish, and Native South American hues to my existence. An alpha woman with an energy that could power a small city, I often leave my partner in delightful bewilderment at my never-ending vigor. Say “Vigor” like Dracula and it sticks with you.

Growing up in a multiracial household, my strong-willed mother and two sisters were my constants. Our unique blend of backgrounds, four different fathers, and the curiosity of how we could be both “sisters and Colombian?”, was the ongoing joke. In the cocoon of a quiet art room during recess, I found solace from the overwhelming world, allowing my artistic spirit to flourish.

From introverted and numb to a dynamo fueled by creativity, my journey ventured from traditional art and graphic design through New York's captivating Costume Design scene. A detour led me to the heart of Detroit's Filmmaking and Animation realm, where my professor's candid critique prompted a surprising twist: acting entered stage left.

With Detroit's talents at my side, I journeyed to Los Angeles, where I co-founded AWholeProductions.com, a sanctuary for actors to learn, create, and share stories. From sketches and web series to a blog brimming with insights, our online portfolio bloomed. Despite shoestring budgets, we crafted over 300 videos, including a daring Emmy-worthy series on a mere $500 cap.

My knack for resourcefulness, unwavering calm, and lightning-quick problem-solving found their niche in my creative toolkit. As I stand on the precipice of more professional endeavors, the pandemic-induced pause became my temple of reflection. With a feature script penned and a concept film in the works, I'm on the cusp of sharing stories close to my heart.

My journey, in all its wonderful awkwardness, converges in a passion to foster safe havens for others to be unapologetically themselves. In this whimsical dance of directing, acting, and creating, my purpose flourishes—a purpose to weave the magic of acceptance, joy, and understanding, one frame at a time.
