About Brendan Beachman
Brendan Beachman’s story begins in the tiny coal mining town of Craig, Colorado. A son of a 3rd grade teacher and a high school librarian, Brendan was as far removed from Hollywood as you can possibly be. Nevertheless, he caught the filmmaking bug from a very young age and it wasn’t long before he became infamous throughout the town (and the local police department) as ‘that weird kid who’s always out making movies’. His passion led him to film school at Montana State University in Bozeman, where he graduated with honors. His award winning senior thesis film played at dozens of major film festivals throughout the world.
In 2009 he moved sight unseen to LA without a plan or a dollar to his name. Since then he has built a particularly successful career as a commercial director, creating over 150 stand alone advertising spots, and helming campaigns for some of the biggest brands in the world including Allstate, Experian, Prudential, Budweiser, NBC, and Pepsi. His passion forever remains with narrative directing so he has simultaneously directed dozens of short films which have played at hundreds of film festivals around the globe. A WEDDING DAY, his most recent short, recently hit the festival circuit with extremely enthusiastic responses from audiences, winning “Best International Short” at Calgary Underground Film Festival, “Audience Award For Best Short” at Dances With Films and “Grand jury award for Outstanding Short Film” at the Newport Beach International Film Festival. The beauty, absurdity, and fragility of the human experience permeates every project he creates.
When he’s not obsessing over movies, Brendan can be found with his wife, dog, and 3 year old son hiking, camping, skiing, playing punk-rock on the drums, or acquiescing to his lifelong sandwich addiction.
