Bryan Jackson, UCLA alumnus
Bryan Jackson MFA ‘01 cast two Bratz dolls in “Softly,” a gay love story in the form of a music video, screening at Slamdance this week. During the making of the film, Jackson’s small Westwood apartment was overflowing with miniature, handcrafted sets to create a world as fragile and ephemeral as the romance that takes place in the short film. Additional Bruins on the crew include cinematographer Quyen Tran MFA ‘07, associate producer Brian Crano ‘01 and key grip Angie Pop MFA ‘07. At the UCLA reception Jackson quipped “what I find funny about Sundance is when you put up a poster on one of the kiosks and by the time you walk around to the other side to post another one, the first one has already been covered up. It’s Poster Wars!”
(Video interview coming shortly.)
