Bradley Pontecore

Since the moment of his birth in Danville Illinois, Brad knew he had a knack for telling stories. That his mother went into labor with him during CHINATOWN, could have something to do with it.
As a producer, writer and director, Brad brought his love for storytelling to the American Film Institute in 1997. As one of the youngest filmmakers in his class, Brad wrote and produced five films including the thriller TERRA MEA - the story of a man trapped for eternity inside a box with a jealous lover. He also wrote the Hitchcock-inspired film, STALE IDENTITY for director Mitch Levine. While spending a year immersed in the Native American culture of California and Canada, Bradley wrote and produced the 2000 Sundance Film Festival selection, MY BROTHER, starring the film and television actor Adam Beach (FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS, WINDTALKERS and SMOKE SIGNALS).
Changing his sights to the advertising world, Brad teamed up with the marketing unit at Miramax for Martin Scorsese's GANGS OF NEW YORK and wrote the tag line, "American Was Born In The Streets", which promoted the film on a world-wide basis on both posters and the theatrical trailer.
For 13 years, Brad became immersed in the advertising and marketing industry, specializing in experiential, online and social media marketing for top agencies in Los Angeles, New York and Chicago.
In 2015, Brad founded the production company Madness Maker Films and has produced four music videos for Internationally know act Macabre, a live seven camera recording for The Tossers, another internationally known band. In 2016, Brad began production on the musical documentary PUNK BAND (2018), currently playing on Amazon Prime.
