Brennan Howard was born in Hollywood and raised in Orange County, hence accounting for his schizophrenic tendencies. His first gig as an actor was as "Twinkie the Kid" at local A&P Mini-Marts, wearing an over-sized spongecake costume replete with cream filling. From there, Mr. Howard attended USC Film (illegally, couldn't afford tuition) while attending Playhouse West. After training with Bob Carnegie and Jeff Goldblum, Howard went on to co-direct his first short film, "Dick Richards," featuring Ashley Judd. From there, he has written and directed numerous short films, including "The Temple of Phenomenal Things," and "Straighten Up America!" His first SAG independent feature, "Low" is slated for release in 2007.
