“Brett Chapman is a film maker, director, cinematographer, videographer, video editor, content creator, and SFX makeup artist. He is also a UAT grad! 

Brett has been doing great things over the past few years, and he took the time to catch us up on his creative adventures.

Tell me a little about yourself. Where are you from, etc.?

My name is Brett Chapman. I’m 25 years old. I am from a small town nestled away in Northeast Arizona called Snowflake. I grew up there in the 90s in a very large Mormon family. We had to get creative as kids and make our own entertainment as we had limited technology and large amounts of outdoor space to roam around in. I grew up racing quads off road and was an honors student from kindergarten through college. My passions in life include action sports, art, cinema, music, the outdoors, skydiving, tech, fitness and learning new skills or hobbies.

When did you attend UAT and what did you study?

September 2014­–August 2016. I completed my four-year degree in two years. I studied digital video and graduated with Cum Laude distinction. While at UAT, I competed in and won several film festival awards and accolades alongside my production peers. My senior short film, Loyalty Lies with the Dead, won the 2016 Spring SIP Fair “Best in Show” award.”…
