Set Philosophy

I run sets that feel good. Especially in the commercial world, when there are clients present, I understand the value of a calm, clear, collaborative set. I’m not a ‘my way or the highway’ AD. My job is to creatively and intelligently manipulate time, allowing each department to reach its maximum potential. I believe in positive reinforcement and clear communication. All that said, I know when it’s time to hit the gas, and I do everything in my power to make my days. We work long hours in this industry, and as a 1st AD I do my best to make sure we’re enjoying each of those hours, and coming out with a project that we are all proud of.

Testimonials

Brennan is truly a pleasure to work with. On his A-game 100% of the time and never drops the ball. In his hands, we were conifident that we not only stayed on schedule but also got the best creative possible. Look forward to working with him on every project.
— Joe Pernice, Senior Producer - Content Director, Deutsch
Brennan is an excellent AD whose poise and set etiquette maintains a calm and efficient work environment, even in the most hectic of production situations. He’s professional and easy to work with while providing transparency in communication and holding down the crew to get the job done. I’ve appreciated working with him and would highly recommend him as an exceptional asset to any set.
— Eli Ash, Head of Production, Derby Content
I couldn’t recommend Brennan more. He has an uncanny ability to plan and execute very complicated projects, while staying calm and communicative. He is a natural leader and makes every production more enjoyable for everyone.
— Andrew Geller, EP - Head of Content, 1st Ave Machine
Brennan was instrumental in the success of our rag & bone film. His presence on set was exactly what one looks for in an AD. He maintained the pacing of the day so that we were able to accomplish all our shots, and–equally important–he was liked, respected and trusted by all.
— Marissa Kraxberger, VP Creative, rag & bone
