BRIAN CHARLES LEHRER
USC School of Cinematic Arts alumni + currently Director of Content @ FAT Brands (Fatburger, Johnny Rockets, Round Table Pizza, Hot Dog on a Stick, Fazoli’s, etc.)
+ creative direction, brand-wide storytelling and content production
+ from fast fashion to fast food, from sharable social campaigns to old-fashioned 30sec ads
+ a hand in all stages of the process : pitching dad jokes, tweaking copy, reviewing talent contracts, revising storyboards, overseeing production, adjusting color grades in the edit, and finessing distribution strategy
+ wrestling with my A.I. side-kicks in the era of late-stage capitalism - human creativity meets AI-driven efficiency >>> 100% AI-generated commercial
