Larry De La Briandais
Director

Larry De La Briandais is an amateur filmmaker specializing in social justice short films. His first film was shot on a borrowed 8mm film camera with his brothers and friends when he was about 10 years old. Without the resources to continue making films his passion languished until a friend told him about the free editing software in windows.
His first short film, Leftovers, about a homeless woman trying to get leftovers from those throwing them away at a fast-food restaurant, was made for a one minute film contest. Never satisfied with the results, many years later he rewrote the script as a five page short film. This film changed his entire filmmaking style. With an award-winning performance from the lead, played by Ashley Marie Woolley, he was now focused on social justice films and a new directing technique, the Travis Interrogation Technique.
Leftovers was selected for the Poppy Jasper Film Festival and the film screened with other films with large crews and budgets, at least compared to the $200 budget of Leftovers. The two of them have teamed up to write several films. Larry has won several awards for his short films.
The message he hopes his audience leaves with is that Everyone deserves basic human rights and to be treated equally. No one is more important than another.
