Brian grew up in a small town in which the lone police officer also drove the garbage truck. He played Dungeons & Dragons and daydreamed and borrowed movies from the library. His dad taught him how to play the guitar. His mom taught him how to tell stories by telling her own. Brian has now spent a quarter century working in a variety of media as a writer, director, and producer.

His film producing credits include THE CONSPIRATOR directed by Robert Redford and starring James McAvoy, Robin Wright and Evan Rachel Wood, PARKLAND starring Zac Efron, Paul Giamatti and Marcia Gay Harden and also produced by Tom Hanks, and AGAINST THE SUN starring Garret Dillahunt and Tom Felton, which Brian also wrote and directed.

As a writer, Brian has often gravitated toward two completely different narratives: raw and rural stories of loss and hope (psychological thriller ROXY DRUZE, Scriptapalooza award-winning screenplay FINE) and magical and fantastical tales (Christmas screenplay SCROOGE & MARLEY, zomedy TOM ZOMBIE).

In non-fiction TV, Brian has covered war zones and natural disasters, and written and directed long-form documentaries and series exploring history, crime, human rights and food. He was recently the showrunner for MSNBC's award-winning series WHAT'S EATING AMERICA.

Brian is also the lead singer, principal songwriter, and rhythm guitarist for THE LUDLOW MANSION, a rock band.

Flannery Maney (she/her) grew up in the middle of Ohio to a family of Irish Catholics in a world rich with the duality of substance abuse and wasteful wealth. Always living between socioeconomic communities, she was the kid who robbed the uniform collection of the lost-and-found at her wealthy prep school. Because of her upbringing, she often writes about addiction, gender roles, and finding a voice when no one will listen. Though her writing spans several genres (animation, history, dark comedy, etc.), all of her work features women who have to fight against their surroundings to survive.

As a writer and producer, Flannery worked alongside the distribution company Alloy to develop a YA novel into a TV series. Flannery also developed a YA TV series based on the visual work of Rob Prior, artist and comic-con savant. For years she has worked under her longtime mentor, Jack Thomas, the executive producer of Dragons, Rescue Riders, as well as horror writers Pete Goldfinger and Josh Stolberg, the team behind Jigsaw. After being staffed on the Instagram show Kat & Bare with Ryde Productions, her short film New Year New Me was directed by Oscar winner Chris Overton. Her writing has been recognized as a finalist at the Austin Film Festival several times and a finalist in their annual pitch competition. She has also been featured on The Bitchlist, the Redlist, and was a finalist in the Roadmap Writers annual TV competition. Recently, she was hired to write a script for the theatrical podcast The Last Station, which will premiere in Spring.
