Artist Bio/Manifesto

My name is Bryan Nixon and I am a film studies major and a creative writing minor at UNCW. Screenwriting has become an interest of mine, and my central goal as a student at UNCW has been to learn the ways of film and the written word and fuse them. Therefore, my interests seem to be in the narrative realm. As a narrative writer, my efforts have become increasingly minimalist (I want every word and every line to count and without excess). Moreover, I have become interested in documentary production, especially after shooting a doc about Wilmington locals Gypsy Fire, a blues rock cover band. In fact, I am eager to film more live performances in the future (it's an adrenaline rush). I am eager to expand my horizons with experimental film because, although it has always greatly intrigued me, I have yet to truly "experiment" in the abstract ways in which I seek.
