Director Biography - Brendan Egan

Brendan Egan is an Actor, Award-Winning Filmmaker and Film Festival director from Boston, MA. Before directing, he was an actor in projects such as "Going in Style," "Castle Rock," and "Donny!" just to name a few. His love for filmmaking stemmed in 2015 when he was chosen to create a short film for inclusion in Universal Pictures' "Jem and the Holograms," which received a global theatrical release and kick-started a new career direction. Although he was born with a limb-difference on his left hand, that hasn't stopped him from defying the odds and following his passion. Just recently, he became a judge at AFI DOCS. Brendan is very grateful for those who have supported and continue to support his films.

Director Statement

Full Statement in EPK: I am very grateful for everyone who came together and helped me make the film that I set out to make. From the actors to the cinematographer who helped bring the grainy and nostalgic 1980's video look, it was truly a team effort and I am forever thankful for them.
