364. Brett Nicoletti “Greg is Here”

Veteran film editor Brett Nicoletti shoots and directs wonderful documentary shorts on his own time and the results are always wonderful.  His film “The Running Man of Pasadena” was an official selection at the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2018, taking home the award for Best Documentary Film.  And his follow-up “Greg is Here” was an official selection at Film Invasion Los Angeles where it took home the award for Outstanding Short Film – Documentary.  I’m proud to say that “Greg is Here’ is in Season 7 of the Discover Indie Film TV Series on Amazon Prime Video!

But wait… there’s more!  You can see both of Brett’s documentaries on TVHi as well.  Just go to watchtvhi.com and learn about this great new streaming service / smartTV app.
