Brad’s work as an independent filmmaker focuses on unconventional, multi-layered storytelling, often focusing on themes related to mental health and based on personal experiences. His first feature, Warrior Road, was distributed by Gravitas Ventures and available on all major platforms.

This includes the South Carolina Film Commission's Indie Grants, where he produces short film projects by South Carolina filmmakers; the Young Filmmakers Project, a high-school filmmaking competition introducing the next generation of filmmakers to the technical and creative aspects of media arts; and the diversity and inclusion media accelerator Wide Angle Project with Effie T. Brown.

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