When he moved to Los Angeles, Bruce B. Gordon transplanted the songwriting and music production talents he learned in his hometown of Detroit, Michigan very easily. After playing keyboards in the band on a TV award show, he worked on recording sessions and for various network TV music awards shows. His creative vision expanded to include the moving image.
A producing intern at Columbia Pictures (Sony), Bruce was one of six college students from 500 nationwide applicants selected that year to participate in observational research at Columbia Pictures Studios during summer break, where he shadowed VPs and other studio executives and inhabited sound stages and sets to examine corporate structure and coordination of talent/artists involved in the production and distribution of feature and TV films, taped TV programs and commercials. Weekly departmental assignments included: Story, Music, Post-Production, Publicity, Promotion and Sales. In front of the camera, Bruce acted in a supporting role for the ABC-TV network / Warner Bros. Studios / David Wolper-produced "Roots: The Next Generations" finale episode, starring James Earl Jones & Marlon Brando.
After graduating from UCLA with a Bachelor's degree in Economics, Bruce worked in Production Accounting (AP/Payroll) at Aaron Spelling Productions, where he also spent hundreds of hours on TV and film sets and studied the creative and financial processes for prime-time network, cable TV and feature production. While there, he performed independent talent scouting, resulting in day player casting on three ABC-TV network prime time shows.
Bruce wrote scripts and comedy material, selling to stars such as Joan Rivers. He also worked on the music video for "Partyman," the second single from a soundtrack album based upon director Tim Burton's Warner Bros. Studios "Batman" feature film; that video written, co-directed and performed by Warner Bros. Records artist: "Prince."
Later, Bruce co-wrote the theme song for "Forgotten Heroes," an independent feature film. On the post production side, Bruce worked for an international subtitle/dubbing post-production house (SDI), then for Warner Bros. Entertainment as a feature film and TV Digital Media Technician, creating iTunes VOD conversions of Warner Bros. Studios new releases and classics.
Bruce has written, directed, produced, photographed and/or edited many shorts, TV projects, commercials and Web promos. He updated his directing and cinematography skills with the latest, state-of-the-art digital cinema techniques and processes at The Los Angeles Film School, where he made his RED/DSLR-camera digital thesis film entitled "Whole 'Nother Level."
After being selected for the 2013 Festival de Cannes Court Métrage (Short Film Corner), "Whole 'Nother Level" screened at the 2013 Jagran Film Festival in Mumbai, India (after having screened in New Delhi, Agra, and Varanasi). It was also selected for screening at the February 2014 Festival des 24 Courts in Changé, France and it won two awards at the 2013 Hollywood & Vine Film Festival (Best Visual Effects in Short Film & Best Music in Short Film). It was selected to screen at the inaugural Los Angeles Independent Music/Film International Summit as well.
In May 2014 Bruce's "Whole 'Nother Level" was selected at the Festival Entr'2 Marches in Cannes, France; a disability-themed festival which takes place across town from and concurrently with the Festival de Cannes. Subtitled in French, the title is translated as: "Le Niveau Supèrieur." A version with Spanish subtitles has also been created, and other languages will follow upon further requests.
"Whole 'Nother Level" continued to garner international VOD distribution contracts, such as on Amazon Prime Video, multiple subscription-based online and in-app iOS, Android & Roku digital platforms. During its IndieFlix contract, public libraries in multiple states requested it for in their digital catalogs for download and streaming as high schools and colleges continuously selected it as required viewing for disability awareness education assignments.
In 2020, as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Bruce Gordon Media's short film "Whole 'Nother Level" was made available for free to the international public on YouTube and Vimeo (the latter, ad-free), so as to be fully accessible to schools, libraries and disability-centric organizations to help raise awareness & support for people living with disabilities. (English dialogue, with optional French & Spanish subtitled versions).
With a strong passion for helping other creative artists achieve success, Bruce also works as a consultant, such as with filmmaker Toyin Ibrahim Adekeye's feature documentary, "Bigger Than Africa." After being invited to a score of festivals & screenings on five continents & in tens of countries worldwide-- including at the United Nations-- this award-winning, internationally-significant cultural film secured a 2022 worldwide-streaming deal with Netflix.
Bruce is a firm believer in continuous improvement, and he practices by participating at A-list entertainment industry professional development events, such as the Festival de Cannes Marché du Film Producers Workshop, Producers Guild of America (PGA) Produced by Conference & many others. He and his company (Bruce Gordon Media) are committed to creating quality entertainment that maximizes global audience engagement.
In 2023, Bruce B. Gordon was thrilled to release a new music project on all digital platforms, the single: "Thank You!" (An EDM Song of Gratitude to The Universe). "Thank You" is a vibrant dance track that goes beyond the conventional EDM experience. It's designed to be a tool for practicing daily gratitude for happiness and well-being- all-year-round- and its elements of celebrating appreciation create a strong tie-in with the Thanksgiving and year-end holiday seasons. What also makes this song exceptional is that Bruce performs this song with his late fraternal twin brother and performing/songwriting/music production/publishing partner, Horatio (who sadly passed away from heart surgery complications in February, 2023), and Bruce released it to fulfill his brother's dream of sharing this inspirational music with the world.
