Briana Kennedy is currently in post-production for her first film “Underground Overture” in which she wrote, directed, produced, and stars in with her production company “Lady Luck Pictures” based out of Las Vegas, Nevada. Having worked in front of the camera for many years, she was thrilled and ready to finally step behind the camera. Needless to say, she fell in love with the art of storytelling, again, but from a much more expansive, full-bodied, collaborative point of creation.
Briana is honored to join the team, and very excited to continue to build community, creativity, and connection with women in front and behind the camera in film.
