Director. Writer. Actress.
VALERIE BRANDY
"... the key word when describing Brandy is unflinching."
-- the Huffington Post
"Breathtakingly REAL and provocatively HONEST... [Brandy is] an important voice for her generation."
-- Starpulse
"... if Orange is the New Black broke a barrier by shining a light on and humanizing an ignored population-- prisoners-- then it's safe to say Brandy does the same thing for ex-cons in her directorial debut."

02 About
VB
Valerie Brandy is a director, writer, and actress based in Los Angeles. She began her career by selling a spec feature-length script at just 20 years old, becoming one of the youngest members of the WGA west and subsequently writing for both television networks and film studios. Most recently, she served as a staff writer for Walt Disney studios, where she continues to work on multiple assignments under a first look deal. Her directorial debut, "Lola's Last Letter," -- which she also wrote and starred in-- was released in 2016 by Random Media and Sony's "The Orchard" after a successful festival run, during which it received a five-star review from the Examiner, a special feature in Huffington Post, and a Best Principal Actress nomination from Los Angeles Film Review. Brandy's debut feature coming-of-age spec "Dying with Daisy" was honored by the Nicholl Fellowships, and she is currently attached to direct and adapt the feature film "The Summer of Naked Swim Parties," based on the young adult novel by Jessica Anya Blau. As an actress, Valerie recurred on FX's "Justified" as the manipulative Trixie, working with Mykelti Williamson and Adam Arkin.
Brandy's experience in multiple areas of filmmaking make her an adept communicator with actors, production execs, and crew.
She graduated from UCLA in three years, with honors, as a prestigious Alumni Scholarship recipient.
