Brad’s acclaimed feature documentary “Landfill Harmonic” garnered over 40 festival wins in 250+ festivals (including SXSW Audience Award and AFI Fest Audience Award), and was acquired by HBO, among other global platforms. The Oscar-qualifying film tells the heartwarming story of a youth orchestra in Paraguay that plays instruments made entirely from garbage.

He recently edited “Never Too Late: The Doc Severinsen Story” about the Tonight Show bandleader and world-famous trumpeter Doc Severinsen.

Steve Dorst
Director, Cinematographer, Producer
Steve’s feature documentary “Jobs for G.I.s” documents the struggles vets face when they separate from the military to launch new careers in the civilian world, and was acquired by DirecTV’s The Audience Channel. “Shattered Sky” told the story of how America led the world to solve the biggest environmental crisis ever seen (the ozone crisis), contrasting that story with climate change. It played nationally on PBS, sponsored by Maryland Public Television. Steve’s first documentary, “Volcanic Sprint,” is the harrowing story of Africa’s most extreme running race, up and down a live volcano in Cameroon. He earned cinematographer and editor credits on 12 episodes of the television series “Bench to Bedside,” acquired by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Steve also produces branded content for international organizations that do good, which has led him to make films in 30+ countries in the past 15 years. Steve holds an MA in Economics and African Studies from Johns Hopkins SAIS, and lived in Cameroon as a young man. See more about Steve on IMDB and follow him on Twitter.
