Filmmaker Bob Bryan's Personal Journey
" When you close your doors, and make darkness within, remember never to say that you are alone, for you are not alone; nay, God is within, and your genius is within. And what need have they of light to see what you are doing? "---Epictetus (55 AD - 135 AD), Discourses
Bob Bryan (Director / Writer / Executive Producer / Director of Photography) understands the notion of the independent filmmaker and revels in it.
"Hollywood wasn't exactly be ...moreating down my door looking for a tall, bald
yet handsome film maker. I was basically an outsider with no family, professional
or romantic connections; so I had to hustle to make things happen! "
By being persistent and accepting the good will of strangers, Bob managed to break into "the bizness," initially as an actor turned cameraman, turned director, turned producer.
Some of his freelance production credits include: Hill Street Blues, Hard Copy, Murphy Brown, Murder One, The US World Cup / Studio Pele', Up Close and Personal, Mad City, Deep Impact, The Truman Show, The Goofy Movie and fifty-nine (59) Interstitial Spots for The Discovery Health Channel etc.
The next creative step in Bob's eclectic career was to get his 45 minute Indie documentary entitled Graffiti Verite' produced. Looking realistically at his modest budget he decided to hire himself as the writer, executive producer,director, director of photography, audio-mixer and finally editor and publicist.
"For me, its all about believing in yourself, in order to get things done. Live your life passionately, prepare yourself, invest in yourself and take the plunge! It's not like you're throwing money away in Vegas.
I mean, my personal affirmative action program requires that I've got to put one foot in front of the other and "complete the mission". It's an action-oriented discipline that offers me zero excuses for failure." less |
