Bryan C. Watkins grew up across middle America - in Ohio, Texas, and Oklahoma. He wrote his first story at 4 years old - and finished his first screenplay at 22 - which would later become a hit theatrical play and award-winning film.
Bryan's past screenwriting and directing told stories of defiant characters navigating tragic situations with comedic despair.
His upcoming films explore raw grit, rebirth, and the search for truth and justice - with a comedic edge. These will be produced under his new cultural banner, The Phoenixverse, where underdogs rise against all odds.
From stages to sets to global impact, Bryan's films entertain and ignite.
