Brian Faye is a writer/director from Tucson, Arizona who just finished his Master's in Directing at  the renowned Chapman University Film Conservatory in Orange, California.

Interested in films that explore honest reality and humanity, Brian plans to develop and direct independent features as a career.

Brian finished his graduate thesis film, Jeremy, in May and has just begun it's festival run.  

About filmmaking, Brian says that at a much larger level, film is a way for me to influence people and make people feel and think, but at the most basic level, it has always been a way for me to sort of exorcise all the creative blips floating around in my head. Once I get an idea in my head, I think about it almost obsessively until I can put it on film. Once its on the screen, Im able to let it go and move on to the next one. But filmmaking has always also been a way for me to show others the crazy world inside my head. Im always thinking, goodness, I wish somebody could see this. Sometimes its something comedic, other times its tragicbut there is always some visual or aural manifestation running around in my little brain.

Brian currently lives in Orange, California with his wife.
