BRIAN ALDRICH: Co-Founder Brian Aldrich attended the UCLA Graduate Film School where he received his M.F.A. in Film Production. Earlier he studied theatre and film at California State University Fullerton (B.A.) where he began to learn his craft under the tutelage of documentary icon Mitchell Bloch, the genius behind Direct Cinema Limited. Aldrich's seminal work in confessional documentary and reality video: “Confession: A Kerouacian Odyssey” was shown at the New York Museum of Modern Art, the Kennedy Center and the Smithsonian Institute in the first national AFI video tour. He has been commissioned to write several screenplays and his spec scripts have been optioned. His video and theatre work continues to toy with the subversion of expectations. He is currently in post-production on his experimental feature film "James Dean Died Here" aka "Postmodern Blues."

He has been a Story Analyst for over 20 years. He lives in Santa Monica with his beloved wife and assorted rattus norvegicus.

After this dalliance with religious idealism, his real education came from graduate studies in Berkeley where he earned his M.A. and Ph.D in Philosophy. He reluctantly lives in the heat of Los Angeles where he is happily married and enjoys setting his dog on religious hypocrites. He particularly likes to have his atheist mutt urinate on their tombstones and defecate on their graves.
