Matter of Chance Productions > Staff

Brock H. Brown writes for the screen with the precision of a short story. His writing stimulates the imagination using few words, as though each were very costly. His wry wit and cynical outlook pervade his signature psychological studies, while informing his writings in other genres.

He is a skilled visual storyteller whose true talent is in motivating actors based on an engaging thought process. He never fails to elicit nuanced performances without resorting to explicit physical direction. In Leonardo—a story told primarily through voice-over—it was his task to draw out unspoken cues from the lead actor as the camera studied every move. Owing much to his direction, the film swept the acting awards in the competition for which it was produced.

Brown has received awards for his writing, directing, editing, and acting.
