BRAD CRUZ

Is a bilingual first generation Mexican-American creative producer, writer and director born in San Fernando, California.  He has worked in broadcast, cable, digital, and feature space in both scripted and unscripted content.  He has worked in 46 states, 30+ countries across 6 continents producing over a 100 hours of content. His work can best be described as a storyteller of two worlds, from early struggles and challenges to attending elite private christian schools and universities. His work is a unique portrait of America. He got his “masters” in cinema working closely with filmmakers John Frankenheimer, Ang Lee, and Alec Baldwin customizing props for their films Path to War, Hulk, and Suspect Zero. He found advertising success solving NBC and Telemundo's cross advertising platform dilemmas with his unique creative writing yielding an average growth of 200% year after year.  He applied the same philosophies to his short film, “The Last Night”, exceeding all expectations with global acclaim and film festival success. The same creative philosophies can be found in his screenplays specifically in subject matter, characters, and themes tailored to yield profitable Latin positive content.  In non fiction work, he cut his teeth at the Emmy Award winning series “Beyond the Glory'' as a cameraman, junior editor and effects artist.  He apprenticed for Emmy and Oscar winning editor/director Paul Crowder on “Riding Giants” before showrunning his own non-scripted content.  From writing scripted features to documentary narration, as well as producing, directing, and editing, Brad is an all around storyteller.  He is currently looking for distribution for his live- action/animated documentary series as well as finance and packaging of his Latin Positive scripted feature.
