Brian Paris

Washington, DC

I grew up in Illinois. I've worked in Doha, Qatar. Currently I work in Washington, DC. I am here to support the creative people and projects here at kickstarter. I am a filmmaker, photographer, writer and actor, so I tend to back those types of projects. But sometimes I'm just struck by the idea and back something fun.
