K.I.T is being screened in film classrooms across the United States.
While On Another Note is an example of a well-produced student film with a large crew, K.I.T was written and animated entirely by Brandon.
K.I.T follows a medical robot in an apocalyptic wasteland, as he attempts to remember humanity.
Brandon Hill is the quintessential Chapman student.
If you need sound, I’ll be your sound guy. Gaf? Boom? I’ll do it. To be a great director, you have to understand everyone’s craft on set. I’m always crewing, always trying something new.
Brandon is the perfect example of what Stuudeo calls a “west coast” film education. A hyper-technical storyteller, who makes movies as often as he can.
Being a director is kind of like being a manager. It’s really really hard to manage people when you don’t know how their job works. I think the people who loved film school are willing to do anything.
Don’t box yourself in.
