Brett A. Hart - Is an Emmy Award Winning Director, Writer, Producer, and owner of Hart & Soul Entertainment. Passionate about the business of humanity and telling stories that resonate, Hart is dedicated to permeating the hearts and minds of his viewers. Falling in love with cinema as a child he began filming at the age of 11. After he graduated film school at The University of Texas at Austin, Hart had amassed a diverse skill-set in film-making. Over a forty-year span, he has worked heavily in Advertising, Music Videos, Feature Film, and Television, leading to Award Winning Directing, Editing and Cinematography.

For over a decade, he was the Creative Director of one of the most innovative advertising agencies in the Midwest and became known for his unique and cinematic vision, gaining national attention when Jon Stewart highlighted the first of his gripping Tornado Promos. Hart considers Directing Film Legend James Garner as a highlight of that prolific period in Advertising. Influenced early on by his mentor Director, Richard Franklin (who was himself mentored by the legendary, Alfred Hitchcock) Hart has persevered to carry the torch of suspense as seen in his early films, “Dead End” & “Bone Dry” (starring Lance Henriksen, Luke Goss, Tiny Lister & Dee Wallace).

Hart went on to Direct the critically praised PBS series, ’Ain’t it Cool With Harry Knowles’ (sponsored by IMAX & originally produced by The Nerdist Channel in conjunction with Jim Henson Productions & Broadway Video). The show whimsically championed Cinema and is a cinematic treasure trove of interviews with such mavericks as Burt Reynolds, Danny Boyle, Tim Burton, Leonard Molten, JJ Abrams, Wes Craven and Earnest Kline, to name a few.

Now living in Los Angles, Hart has several projects on the horizon, having teamed up with Legendary Actor Christopher Lloyd and Emmy Winning Writer Rob Kutner ("Conan O’ Brien”) to film a pitch for an anthology series now presently in development. Most recently Hart has been praised for his diverse casting and female focused film, “Coffee With Exes”, winning over 28 awards including Best Director. Brett would later be honored when asked to be a contributing author to the first biography on British Director, JOHN GUILLERMIN: THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE MOVIES, the visionary behind "THE TOWERING INFERNO", "KING KONG" & "DEATH ON THE NILE". With a documentary in production, several feature films and TV series’ in development, Hart is thankful to be doing it all alongside his wife, write r/ producer / composer, Bonnie E. Hart.

I have been in the industry since 1991.
