Prior to the founding of Chromata, Brian served in executive level positions with several Independent film companies over the years but as Director of Film Acquisitions for On Command, Inc., an innovative Silicon Valley company who created a video on demand platform that spanned the entire hotel industry was one of his proudest accomplishments.  Brian negotiated new release and library film licensing terms with powerhouse motion picture studios such as Paramount, Universal Studios, Disney, and Warner Brothers.  He takes pride in his role to help one of the first video on demand businesses successfully launched to a critical mass audience while recording profitable revenue streams, which in turn revolutionized the beginning of Digital Video on Demand.     

Brian is also one of the creative forces behind the Bentonville Film Festival, co-founded by Geena Davis and Walmart, which celebrates women and people of color in the film industry.  Brian served in a leadership role for the festival which boasts of 50,000 attendees, with appearances by well known Hollywood performers like Anthony Hamilton, Jewel, Nick Cannon, Will.I.am, Meg Ryan, Robert De Niro and many others.     

His latest venture is a film development deal with Gaumont Studios International and the founding of production company Sheena Mae Stories which would develop feature films and series of color.
