Brandon Harris works in perhaps too many capacities in the world of American Independent Film as a critic and journalist, producer and director, screenwriter and educator, assistant director and editor. The Cincinnati, Ohio native and SUNY Purchase graduate is a Contributing Editor for Filmmaker Magazine and teaches part time at the New York Film Academy. You can catch his reviews and articles online at Hammer to Nail, SpoutBlog (before it died), National Board of Review of Motion Pictures (an organization he was dubiously kicked out of), In These Times Magazine (an organization that struggles to pay him) and over on his own site surveying New York City cinema culture, Cinema Echo Chamber.
In addition to his critical and journalistic writing, Brandon has directed several award winning short films including Happiness is no fun., a recipient of the 2005 National Board of Review student filmmaking grant and Evangeleo, which has screened at over a dozen film festivals worldwide including the 2007 Slamdance Film Festival and NewFest. His most recent film was 2008's Biospheres, a Jonathan Lethem adaptation starring You Won't Miss Me director Ry Russo-Young.
