B. HAYWARD RANDALL- Director

Raised in California, Bryan Hayward Randall, also known as B. Hayward, attended both Julliard and The Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. Bryan's first short film, "Meditation On Dispatch," was voted best film at the LACC annual film festival. For his next project, Bryan tackled the painstaking recreation of early silent cinema. For "49 Wimpole ST.- LONDON," he hand-bleached and scratched film stock to authenticate the illusion of a lost film, circa 1919.

Bryan met Grace Rowe in 2001, and after she saw the enormous amount of detail he had put into creating the sets for "49 Wimpole St-London," she asked him to be the art director on her short film, "American Seoul." They continued to work together on small projects, and Grace asked Bryan to direct the scene that would ultimately help gain her acceptance into the prestigious Actors Studio after only one final audition. Their working relationship continued to flourish, and when Grace was ready to start pre-production for I AM THAT GIRL, she asked Bryan if he would direct.

The son of a carpenter father, Bryan built several of the sets for the feature film, and also created specialty rigs for specific shots, a signature style he has started after building his elaborate camera tunnels for "49 Wimpole St." Accustomed to story-boarding every shot in his film, Bryan story-boarded almost every scene of I AM THAT GIRL by hand, and yet was confident enough to be loose and flexible with his actors on the set. Coming from a strong theater background himself, Bryan prides his work on being both visually exciting and emotionally alive.

Recently, Bryan shot a film entitled, "Urban Beast," and recently directed a music video for the band, Bangkok 5, which was purchased and played on Vcast for cell phone viewers. Currently, Bryan is shopping his script, "While We Wait," with his co-screenwriter, David Zint. He is also in pre-production for his second feature film, "Furrow in the Dark," a modern-day thriller, and is also shooting a music video for "Linus of Hollywood," who composed original music for "I AM THAT GIRL."
