Brad is the founder and producer of TRUE NORTH: The Quest for American Truthtelling, an audio documentary program that tell compelling stories as case studies for civic engagement, community decision-making, and our reluctance to face truth and challenges head-on, sparking constructive discourse in an increasingly fractured public square.

He has also built programs that support the media arts in the Southeast and the world, mentoring and producing pioneering work with emerging filmmakers and artists. This includes LONG LENS, an entrepreneurship program for producers and filmmakers focusing on capital, marketing, and distribution within the global $700B film and TV market; the South Carolina Film Commission's INDIE GRANTS, where he produces professional short film projects by South Carolina filmmakers with collaborators such as Jackie Hoffman, Russell Carpenter, Anna Camp, Madeleine McGraw, and Brad Land; and co-founded the WIDE ANGLE PROJECT with producer Effie T. Brown, the nation’s only state-supported diversity and inclusion production lab.

Though traveling far and wide, Brad is proudly a Southern storyteller and filmmaker. He recognizes the immense resources and rich culture of his home region and has dedicated himself to the advancement of its communities and production industry.
