Bruce Bryant
   I graduated from the University of California, Irvine with a degree in history, an interest that has taken me to many parts of the world.

   After working in instructional media and teaching television production at UC Irvine for several years, I shifted into writing, producing and directing for a variety of syndicated documentaries and educational films, and later served as co-director of special effects for 10 syndicated science fiction movies for television.

   I co-designed, produced and directed opening title sequences for some of the best-known network television series and specials (The X-Files, Becker, Frasier, As The World Turns, Cheers and many more). My work has been honored with 4 national Emmy awards.

   Reading is a passion and I especially enjoy Terry Pratchett, Christopher Moore and assorted
non-fiction.

   My partner in work, marriage and animal rescue is Carol Johnsen. We have been together “since time began” and moved to Vancouver, WA a few years ago.

   After graduating from the University of Minnesota with an English degree I worked at the University of Minnesota News Service. There I wrote, produced and directed “I Don’t Think I Will Sing Any More Just Now”, a documentary about the late poet, John Berryman, which aired on PBS.

   Work as a project coordinator at several Minneapolis commercial film production companies followed before I moved to Los Angeles. There I was a researcher and associate producer on several syndicated documentaries and later co-wrote Lifepod, a science fiction film that aired in syndication.

   I co-designed and co-produced hundreds of opening title sequences for well known network television series and earned national Emmy awards for three of them – The X-Files, Caroline In The City and As The World Turns.

   With my husband/partner, Bruce Bryant, I co-founded JumboBumbo.com, an online gift gallery showcasing the work of over 70 artists, which was a unique resource for both customers and artists for over a decade.

   My other interests include reading (especially mysteries), British TV series and films via Netflix, and The Daily Show and The Colbert Report on Comedy Central. And during NBA season  . . . I’m gone--Trailblazers, Lakers, Clippers-- way too much of a good thing!
