Chadd Harbold is a graduate of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. In 2007, he co-founded a production company, Last Pictures, along with Dan Berk, Bryan Gaynor and Robert Olsen. His first three short films under this banner were romantic dramas, but in 2008, he switched gears and took on a script Bryan Gaynor had sitting on his shelf. “Asshole,” was a dark comedy that differed in tone from his previous work, but contained a fascinating and dynamic character. The film is debuting at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. He is currently in development on his first feature film, an ensemble drama about two couples’ sexual entanglements, entitled Hard Times in New York Town. Watch Chadd's director reel here. |
Bryan is a force to be reckoned with, working as a director, editor, and producer of countless short films, music videos, and commercials. A founding member of Last Pictures, Bryan is also an actor and comedian. His screenplay, “Asshole,” which he originally penned when he was only 18-years-old, hilariously demonstrates his fresh humor and keen insight into the human condition. |
