The Chief Operating Officer at The Entertainment Career Connection, Inc., Brian Kraft is also a film teacher at the said firm. He began as a driver to the world-renowned underground Filmmaker Julian Temple (“Earth Girl’s Are Easy” and “The Future is Unwritten”) at Nitrate Films where he met the late great music video director D.J. Webster (Amy Grant, The Beach Boys). The success of Brian Kraft today could be traced to Webster, who taught the former on the art of directing and producing. Kraft went on to direct live concerts for Jane’s addiction, Cypress Hill and Ozomatli even after Webster died. Kraft directed the feature film “The Brandon Corey Story,” and “The Fall of America and the Western World” is his 3rd documentary film.
Above anything else, Kraft is a free man – not a liberal, conservative or even a moderate one. Among the things that influenced him are Ron Paul’s Revolution, Daniel Quinn’s Ishmael and Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now; he is also a US citizen and a student of the US Constitution. Kraft is also a student of US History and a great admirer of founding father Thomas Jefferson. He is obsessed with baseball, basketball, as well as a good barbecue. He’s currently working to attain his PHD in psychology.
Producer James Petulla is also the founding father and CEO of The Entertainment Career Connection, Inc. Among his greatest works is the film Reversal, which won Best Film both at Robert DeNiro’s IndieVision Tribeca Film Festival as well as the Malibu Film Festival. It also gained a DOVE Family Award. The film’s theme centers on a father-son relationship, and how such a connection is effective in the world of sports, most specifically in high school wrestling. The film was praised and given two thumbs up by gold medalists Carl Lewis, Shannon Miller, and Kendall Cross. James Petulla lives in California with his two sons and pet dogs, Fred and Beatty.
The success of The Fall of America and the Western World can be attributed to the following: working knowledge on the entertainment business and affiliations with the best minds in the fields of writing, economics, and journalists.
“The Entertainment Connection programs are amazing. Right from the start, you’ll be exposed to a real film company, recording studio and radio station wherein a working professional will privately tutor you using a structured curriculum. No more teachers, oversized classrooms or tuition debt,” according to DiNozzi.
