Biography

Bruce An Clarke was born and raised in small-town Washington State. His introduction to narrative filmmaking started from a class assignment to make a short film during his studies at The University of Washington. Despite graduating with majors in Psychology and Communication, a yearning for a more creatively-impactful career saw him move to Los Angeles in early 2023 to work in the film industry. He hasn't looked back ever since and quickly found his way onto numerous sets as a PA and 2nd AD for short films, commercials, podcasts, and music videos.

Along the way, he discovered a love for writing and directing. At 24 years old, "The Fallacy of You" became his solo directorial debut in the short film space. He is also a producer on the psychological thriller feature film, "Calamari", directed by Russell Whaley. Previously, he has also collaborated with Whaley in co-directing the short, "The Reptilian Affair". He is passionate about using narrative film to hone in on the deep emotions we all carry with us, but are seldom brought to the surface. The complexities of romance, friendships, emerging technology, and nature all find their way into his films in some fashion.
