I went to high school with Brandon for 3 years and always knew he had what it takes to succeed. As a star athlete in track and football, Mr. Popular and A-B honor roll student he exhibited leadership and managerial skills early in life. A look at him many years later shows that he is definitely putting to use skills mastered at a young age. Brandon now works as production manger and director on music videos in various locations throughout the U.S. as well as short films. Here are a few questions I asked of Brandon in a recent online chat session.What degree did you obtain from Full Sail? And how are you putting this degree to use?
My degree was film. I have been shooting short films and music videos, and doing photo shoots.
How has Full Sail prepared you for the real world?
I feel that Full Sail did prepare me for the real world, the tools they gave me allowed me to understand what I need to do on and off set.
Has your degree given you further leadership skills than you already possessed?
Full Sail did help me with leadership. I feel that I have been very aggersive in leading in the field that I am in.
Where do you see your career in 5 years?
In 5 yrs I hope to be directing my 2nd or 3rd film, or even producing bigger films. I hope to be directing in Hollywood some day.
I spoke with Brandon a while back and he said that he will be moving to LA soon for better opportunities in film and music videos. It seems as though he's definitely on the right track to making a name for himself and building his brand. Full Sail is also preparing me for the real-world by giving me tools to establish my brand, market and network among peers.
