"Meet the players..."

BRINTON BRYAN (writer/director/producer) - Actively working as an assistant director on feature films for more than 10 years, Brinton Bryan has had the opportunity to work with and learn from the amazing talents of directors Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Richard Linklator, Robert Rodriguez, Rob Marshall, Sam Raimi, Sean Penn, George Clooney, Gore Verbinski, and many others. In 2006, he put what he'd learned to the test with his debut film, SILENT NIGHT, a dramatic 35mm short film facing the challenges of a dysfunctional couple. He followed with a 35mm comedy, PINK EYE which is making it's way on the festival circuit now. In addition to numerous 2nd unit directing credits including Sean Penn's INTO THE WILD, Brinton is busy developing several new projects for film and television with the Greenbelt Films team and plans to direct his feature film debut, ST. AMBER OF ORANGE COUNTY in 2009.

He recently founded Greenbelt Films with Brinton Bryan and Erich Lochner in order to take advantage of their experience in bringing new and exciting film and television projects to light.


ERICH LOCHNER (producer) - Erich began producing on the independent feature NOT SINCE YOU almost two years ago in Athens, Georgia. It was on that film that Erich received a crash course in both the business and creative sides of filmmaking. Not long thereafter, he moved to Los Angeles to continue his career in producing and has since worked for Danny Halsted (Producer- GARDEN STATE, THE VIRGIN SUICIDES) and Houston King (Producer & Sales Rep- FUNNY HA HA, MUTUAL APPRECIATION). In 2008, Erich created his own development/production company named Abraxas Entertainment and produced the 16mm short, THE SCIENTIST, as well as beginning work on the TV property EMPIRE. Most recently Erich teamed up with Brinton Bryan and Dave Venghaus to create Greenbelt Films where he currently is developing and packaging both EMPIRE and ST. AMBER OF ORANGE COUNTY.
