TV Production & Creative Development

The Person
Behind the
Production

"Great execution is invisible — the audience only sees the story."

I have spent the past seven years in the fast-moving world of live television and creative development — learning to stay calm when the countdown hits zero and everything changes at the last second.

I've supported screenwriters, stand-up comedians, and executive producers — managing schedules, prepping scripts, coordinating logistics, and keeping high-stakes productions running on time and on vision.

My work on WWE live broadcasts gave me stage management experience in some of the most demanding live environments in entertainment — where adaptability isn't a soft skill, it's a survival skill.

Now I'm looking to bring that instinct and creative sensibility to the next chapter: whether in the writers' room, on a podcast, or at a production company.

Creative Work

Projects &
Originals

From original television concepts to podcast development — the work that lives between the job titles.

Comedian & Screenwriter  ·  2019 – Present
Original Works & Live Performance

Performing stand-up comedy since 2019, Brandon brings the same instincts that drive his production work — timing, voice, and an acute understanding of what makes an audience feel something. That perspective informs a body of original screenwriting spanning dark comedy, anthology drama, fantasy, and animation.

Four original works in development
TV Series  ·  Anthology Drama
Jackpot

An episodic anthology series centering on lottery winners and the dramatic — sometimes devastating — shifts their lives take after hitting the jackpot. Each episode a new winner, a new unraveling.

TV Series  ·  Dark Drama
Farrell's

After the death of his grandfather, an introverted boy is sent to live in an opulent foster home that holds a dark, foreboding secret. A gothic coming-of-age story about grief, belonging, and what lies beneath the surface.

Short Story  ·  Animation
Heirloom

A young girl discovers a magical antique shop that reveals hidden memories — and uses it to mend her parents' crumbling marriage. A tender, visually rich story about family, loss, and the objects that hold us together.

TV Series  ·  Fantasy Comedy
The Last Laugh of the Madcap

A medieval fantasy blending political intrigue with dark comedy. A court jester navigates palace conspiracies using wit as both weapon and shield. Developed with full series bible, pilot outline, and character breakdowns.
