Director Biography - Brian McDermott

I am a filmmaker, teacher, and ex-poet who plays too much chess. My MFA thesis film on aging and assisted living, a work of fiction, was nominated by Temple University for a Princess Grace Award and screened at a number of festivals. I also directed and produced "Language Healers" and "We Are All Related Here" - two award-winning documentary films on Indigenous rights and environmental issues.
I hold an MFA in Film and Media Arts from Temple University and currently teach screenwriting, directing and documentary filmmaking in the TV/Film department at DeSales University.
