The Jigsaw Ensemble is a digital media company focused on narrative entertainment, education and live experience through collaborative, interactive media. The Jigsaw Ensemble’s founder and owner, Brendan Bradley, is a multi award-winning actor, writer, director and producer. After training at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London and NYU's Tisch School, Brendan began a career developing dozens of original plays and musicals Off-Broadway. Since moving to Los Angeles, he has built a name in over 100 digital shorts and sketches, earning over 40 million views and working with some of the most recognizable faces and brands online while his film work has been featured in festivals world wide, most notably The Sundance Film Festival, SXSW and Methodfest. Under The Jigsaw Ensemble, Brendan has enjoyed 20 years as a self-proclaimed “scrappy storyteller,” creating 'fiascos,' a term borrowed from Italian glass blowing when a wine bottle with any flaws is salvaged into a flask. This celebration of imperfection and resourcefulness captures his personal culture of ingenuity and experimentation to bring new technologies and audiences to narrative storytelling.
