Duncan
ABOUT
Brandon is a writer, filmmaker, and performer based in Brooklyn, NY. He dove into writing after his solo show, MY BIG HEART: ON, played to sold-out houses in NYC in 2015 and has been creating ever since.
Brandon thrives in a collaborative setting and craves the imaginative, the historical, the deep-dive into what makes people tick, and the underrepresented slices of life that make up the pangeanic zeitgeist of humanity (that sounded douchier than intended).
He is one-third of Maternity Leave Films, LLC.

Acclaim
"[Duncan's] comic prowess cuts to the quick of each articulated funny bone...layered with gravitas and restraint.”
-Terry Byrne
"Mr. Duncan has one hand on his own aching, ever-learning heart, and the other on the pulse of the sexual politics of his own, detached-but-yearning generation, trying not to get lost in cyberspace."
-Daniel Neiden
