Peace,

Welcome to my website. I produce film and video content for all creative outlets, in the medium of your choice. Located in Chicago, but can work all over the world. With connections in all the major cities in the US, Great Britain, and Africa. Contact me for all of your video needs. Although I got my start in independant films, screenwriting is a passion of mine as well. I'm always asked if my films, are "black films". Simply put, they are just films, period. :-)

I recommend Jeffrey T. Brown as a Cinematographer. His commitment to a projects integrity is phenominal. And I recommend Phil Lee, over at Foundation Post as an editor to choose. Awesome work ethic, and on time!!!

Please take a look at my work, and contact me to produce your music video, short film, feature film, event, documentary and webisode. Even if you just want to chat about your project. :-)

Peace,

MadBrad Smith

Bradley MadBrad Smith has been working in the independent film industry for eighteen years. Early in his career he worked on such projects as Oprah Winfrey's television movie, 'There Are No Children Here' and Nike/Michael Jordan's Kilroy commercial spots, in extras coordinating.

Once MadBrad discovered his real talent and vision, he got more involved in the filmmaking and video production business. He worked Second Unit on 'The Watcher', starring Keanu Reeves and James Spader and went on to work with well-known video director Marc Klasfeld on R&B artist, Dave Hollisters' One Woman Man music video and recently on Lil Bow Wows' 'Thank You' music video. He also worked with director Paul Hunter on Michael Jordans'new Nike line spots titled, 'Much Respect'.

After he directed Soldier, a music video for R&B artist Tina Moore. He went on to direct the music video, Breath Again for newcomer Ren, which was named, by The UrbanNetwork, the #1 most added urban video in the country for the week of February 23, 2001.

MadBrads' 12-minute short film 'Restore', was accepted to Urbanworld Film Festival 2001 and brings attention to one of his first films as writer, producer, director. The film stars Max Julien Aka.
