Bria Phillips
Community Engagement Facilitator
Originally from a small town in Massachusetts, Bria always felt a strong connection to film and photography. In college, she majored in film while continuing to hone her skills in portraiture and constantly developing project ideas.
This passion for storytelling extended beyond the classroom. Bria even created a short documentary chronicling the trials and triumphs of navigating the music industry. The documentary followed her long-time friend Heyssis's journey of creating her first official EP, "888", capturing the creative process, the challenges faced, and the ultimate joy of achieving a musical dream. Now at Kindred, Bria thrives working alongside a passionate team to connect filmmakers globally and make a positive impact on the film industry.
