Brian Strasmann graduated from California State University at Long Beach with a bachelor’s degree in Journalism specializing in public relations.  In his senior year he was hired by the American Fire Journal as the monthly magazine’s Art Director.

 While working during the day, Brian began writing motion picture screenplays in the early morning hours.  His early writing work led to his being hired by Warner Bros. Pictures to re-write the production draft of the motion picture film Free Willy.  As filming completed, Brian sold an original screenplay to academy award winning producer Wendy Finerman and then spent several years writing for major motion picture studios including Columbia Pictures, Warner Bros. 20^th Century Fox and Paramount Pictures.  

Brian next set his eyes on the television field and enjoyed several years supervising the completion and delivery of television product to meet stringent technical specifications for FCC and network broadcast in the early days of high definition television production.  

Experienced in technical film and web production, Brian’s passion remains in communications in fact and fiction. His strong writing skills lend themselves to helping small businesses garner publicity in order to grow in an increasingly competitive world.  Brian’s first novel has just been acquired by Chippewa Publishing Company in Minneapolis and one of his latest screenplays, Love Lies Bleeding, is currently being filmed for Sony Entertainment.
