    Producer
    Shatterglass Films Jan 2015 - Present
    At Shatterglass Films, we believe that a good story should be timeless. It should be impactful. A good story should be one that is both enjoyable and fluid — inviting discourse. The characters should be rich and their journeys engaging. We at Shatterglass understand that a good story is one you want to experience again, to share, and to ponder. We believe in producing films that are more than just entertaining. We believe in telling stories that are emotionally impactful; ones that feel as transformative to you as an audience, as they are to our characters on-screen. We believe in sharing stories that are as important to tell as they are award-winning or successful. It is this belief, and the talent of our creative team of expert storytellers, that makes Shatterglass Films a key player amongst independent filmmakers. We are committed to producing high-quality, artistically- driven stories that appeal to a wide variety of audiences, connecting with each of you in ways that — while hopefully different — will most certainly be memorable. We find and develop these stories from concept to completion. It takes creative ingenuity and passion. Sure, there’s technical wizardry, blood, sweat and tears going on behind the scenes, but what you will see is something inspiring and beautiful; something we love and are excited to share with you.

    I am the co-producer of the feature film "Thrill Ride", (starring Police Academy’s Tim Kazurinsky and 3rd Rock from the Sun’s Kristin Johnston). What began as an innocent promise between father and son, screenwriter Chris Parrish will continue his homage to his late son Mason, eponym of Mason’s Movies. Born within the imaginative mind of Mason Parrish, "Thrill Ride" marks Chris Parrish’s directorial debut. Chris is a screenwriter, WGAw member and a full-time writing professor in the Digital Cinema department at DePaul University in Chicago. Mason dreamed of filmmaking with his father and shortly before his passing, asked, “When I grow up, can we make movies together?” to which Chris had replied “Of course.” For Chris, creating Thrill Ride is his way of honoring that promise to his son.http://www.masonsmovies.comStream THRILL RIDE Today!Amazon: http://amzn.to/2AxihzZFandangoNOW: http://bit.ly/2l5jGXBGoogle Play: http://bit.ly/2BZ8GOmiTunes: http://apple.co/2yOSqBxVimeo: http://bit.ly/2yiI88HVudu: http://bit.ly/2jB51TCMicrosoft XBOX: http://bit.ly/2C6iJCcYouTube: http://bit.ly/2z45AKH

    In the Fall of 2013, Brett partnered with Chicago filmmakers, Christian Gridelli & Hunter Norris of DimeStore Films to produce their debut film, The Origins of Wit and Humor, starring Joe Hursley (Resident Evil: Extinction, Accepted and Fast & Furious) and Steve Lemme (Super Troopers, Beerfest, and The Dukes Of Hazzard).The Origins of Wit & Humor begins with the abrupt end of a five-year relationship and sees professional comedy writer Les Candalero melt into a puddle of self-doubt. With nothing left to lose, he orders a wonder tonic that will grant him an irresistible sense of humor. The product works — too well. Les begins to doubt the only thing he ever prided himself on, his sense of humor. Are they laughing at him or the tonic? He sets out, with the help of his best friend and anchor to reality, Pops, to flush this aphrodisiac out of his system and return stasis — or at least honest laughs — to his world.For more information about the film, visit http://www.orginsofwitandhumor.com

  • Finding Virginia (A Feature Film)
    Producer Of "Finding Virginia"
    Finding Virginia (A Feature Film) Oct 2009 - Nov 2009
    In 2009, Brett produced and managed a feature film called Finding Virginia. The film was shot in Decatur, IL over the course of only 10 days and was filmed with 3 cameras at once.From Illinois’ quiet cornfields comes a story inspired by true events of suffering and sacrifice. Finding Virginia examines the balance of sight, perception, and truth as a community grapples to discover what led to the disappearance of a sweet, loving member. New light is shed upon the year-old investigation, when an already imprisoned young man gloats to his cellmate of his first-hand involvement. Framed within the context of the prisoner’s interrogation room visits, a tragic nightmare reveals itself. Over the course of eighteen hours, kidnapper Nathan Daniels torments and intimidates a young single mother, pushing the very boundaries of her faith. Abducting Virginia Cutler “Ginny” from a crowded parking lot in broad daylight, Nathan coerces her into driving him around town in a wicked game. Threatening deadly consequences to her loved ones and strangers alike, Nathan cruelly tempts Ginny to flee and succumb to her instincts of self-preservation. Through insight into this horrific journey we come to realize the true nature of Virginia’s character.
