Brad Vanderburg

Graduating from the University of Southern California Film School in 1985, Vanderburg cut his teeth in low budget production at Roger Corman's New Horizons Pictures.

In 1993, he completed his first feature film, LIVE WITH THIS - Adrift In America; a road-tour documentary about Los Angeles indie rock legends, Popdefect. Four years in the making, the film garnered positive notices from both music and film critics in the United States and abroad for its original vision and stunningly honest appraisal of the "underbelly of the rock and roll dream." It has played to acclaim at the Rome/Florence Film Festival, Cork Film Festival, Florida Film Festival, Chicago Underground Film Festival, Northwest New Music Seminar, The Silver Lake Film Festival, and as a special program at The Experience Music Project in Seattle, Washington.

His short, BLOODHAG The Faster You Go Deaf The More Time You Have To Read, premiered at the South By Southwest Film Festival in 2001 and went on to win the Audience Award for best short at the San Francisco Independent Documentary Film Festival. It still continues to play across the country at numerous festivals and is being distributed through HYPNOTIC.

FRUMP moms just got to make noise is following in the tradition of Vanderburg’s previous music documentary not only in it’s original take on off-beat musicians, but also in it’s also making mark on the festival circuit, winning the Audience Award for the second year in a row at the San Francisco Independent Documentary Festival.

Currently, he's completed his first narrative feature as writer, director, and producer, I-5, a romantic odyssey set in L.A., San Francisco, and the interstate that divides them, and is developing a cable television pilot (THE RENT) with director Penelope Spheeris attached.
