Bryan Huynh is an Award Winning Filmmaker. He is a graduate of George Mason University, majoring in English. By the end of his freshman year, he knew his desire was to become a filmmaker one day.
The defined moment was in the spring semester of his sophomore when he took a class called Introduction of Film, where the professor asked the class to write a scene with dialogue as it was meant to be seen and heard. Although he continued in the visual arts, he found his combined passions for behind the camera evolving with writers telling their stories.
After graduation he relocated to Orange County, CA, with the original idea of "becoming a writer" for The Hollywood Reporter, The Variety, or Entertainment Weekly. The west coast experience had many memorable moments, where he met Todd Murata and Megan McGonagle at UCLA film summer program.
A few years later he returned back home, because his parents were still waiting for him to get a “real job” with health insurance. He gained his apprenticeship at theatre companies in Washington DC at Studio, Horizon, New Works, and Source, and also at Capital Casting agency.
GI (AI) - NGA is named after his parent's first name. It is pronounced "gee-nah" as in actresses Gina Gershon or Geena Davis. Back in the early 1990s Bryan was inspired by Miramax Films, a well known production and distribution film company in Hollywood. The 2 brothers Bob and Harvey Weinstein named after their parents "Miriam and Max" when they started out in the early 1970s.
Bryan holds an MBA degree from University of Phoenix. He also receives ITIL® v4 Managing Professional and ITIL@ v3 Expert certificates in IT Service Management (ITSM), Certified Scrum Product Owner (CPSO) certificate in scrum product, and Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certificate in process improvement. He has worked for a few Fortune 500 companies in Accenture, Leidos, General Dynamics IT, and SAIC.
