Bryan Michael Stoller
Bryan Michael Stoller (born 1960) is a Canadian independent filmmaker whose films include ''First Dog'', ''The Amazing Wizard of Paws'', ''Santa Stole Our Dog'', (Universal) ''Turn of the Blade,'' ''The Random Factor,'' ''Miss Cast Away,'' ''Undercover Angel'', and ''Light Years Away.''His childhood hobbies included magic tricks and clay animation. His dad attempted to convince Bryan to pursue a different career; later, his dad said he was proud of Stoller's career. As a teen, he earned multiple Film Awards: a gold award in "Film Magic" at The Festival of the Americas (1978), a bronze medal at the Miami International Film Festival for a super documentary (1979), and Best Youth Film at the Canadian International Amateur Film Festival (1979). When Bryan was twelve years old he hosted a national children's show on the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Company) called "Film Fun" showing pre-teens how to make their own super-8 movies.
After producing commercials for local businesses, he moved to Los Angeles at 19 when he was selected as a Director Fellow at the American Film Institute Later he earned a role dusting the Hulk, Lou Ferrigno on ''The Incredible Hulk'' TV series when he crashed through a wall.
Stoller said he prefers directing to producing because he enjoys the creative aspect. He has also acted briefly, making a few cameos in his productions and starring in a short ''A Canadian Werewolf in Hollywood'', a parody of ''American Werewolf in London'' where he transforms into a werewolf in the middle of a call and uses his wolf side to produce a film. ''A Canadian Werewolf in Hollywood'' and other spoofs Stoller directed were packaged into a movie called ''Undershorts: The Movie'' for Paramount Home Video.
Other shorts in ''Undershorts: The Movie '' received attention from celebrities parodied by them. ''The Incredible Bulk'', a parody of ''The Incredible Hulk'' TV series, included Lou Ferrigno from the TV show reprising his role as the Hulk. "The Shadow of Michael", a parody of a Pepsi commercial caught Jackson's attention, and Jackson reprised his minor character Agent MJ from Men in Black II in Stoller's feature film parody titled "Miss Castaway & the Island Girls" and movie ''Silly Movie 2y''.
Jackson and Stoller were planning to release a new movie called ''They Cage the Animals at Night'' prior to Jackson's death. Jackson's estate was not aware there was a formal deal for the movie, as Jackson didn't have a management team at the time he discussed the movie—though there was a contractual agreement drafted and signed through Jackson's attorneys. Stoller was interviewed after Jackson's death to talk about his friendship. Stoller noted that Jackson seemed frail prior to his death and said he didn't believe allegations against Jackson.
Stoller adopted a dog named Little Bear. The dog was previously fostered by former president Ronald Reagan and first lady Nancy Reagan. Stoller met Nancy Reagan, which inspired him to create the movie ''First Dog'' starring Little Bear as the First Dog who gets lost, and found by a foster kid.
Stoller has also coached filmmakers and actors and written the coaching books Filmmaking for Dummies and Harry Potter: Imagining Hogwarts, and Smartphone Movie Maker. Stoller has accomplished a feat that most independent filmmakers have not achieved; his movies ''UnderCover Angel'' and ''Wizard of Paws'' amassed close to eighteen million views on AVOD without any advertising—word of mouth only.
Stoller's films have appeared on almost every modern platform, including Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO, FOX, ABC, NBC, CBS and in syndication. Provided by Wikipedia
