The movie pushed technological boundaries with high frame rate, high resolution, 3D visuals, and groundbreaking visual effects, including the creation of a digital double co-starring alongside Will Smith.
Brian also produced "Wonderstruck," directed by Todd Haynes and distributed by Amazon/FilmNation in 2017 after its premiere in competition at the Cannes Film Festival. The film, starring Julianne Moore and Michelle Williams, is based on Brian Selznick’s acclaimed novel of the same name.

In 2002, Brian co-founded Notable Features and began producing independent films including Rebecca Miller's "Personal Velocity," winner of the 2002 Sundance Grand Jury Prize and the John Cassavetes Award at the Spirit Awards, and "The Ballad of Jack and Rose" starring Daniel Day-Lewis; Lodge Kerrigan's "Keane," winner of the 2005 Deauville Film Festival; and Michael Cuesta’s "Twelve and Holding," for which Brian received a nomination for the Independent Spirit Award’s John Cassavetes Award in 2007.
After graduating from NYU, Brian spent three years managing the development and delivery of critically acclaimed independent films such as Michael Almereyda's "Hamlet," the Sprecher brothers' "Thirteen Conversations About One Thing," and Steven Shainberg’s "Secretary."
