Breylyn Brown was brought up in Houston, Texas, with a piece of her soul in Plaquemine, Louisiana. In this upbringing, she observed the most captivating moments between humans that stirred her imagination and kept her constantly daydreaming. Through this, she developed a love of story-telling that gave her dreams a stage to live in. Breylyn wants to tempt through her storytelling the shared and individual nostalgia of all of the intersecting identities she has that calls on the viewer to re-frame their own notion of what identity is.
Breylyn is interested in both film and staged works as a director, actor, and writer. As a director, Breylyn's most recent works include Gina Femia’s “Violet Sisters,” Lynn Nottage’s “Fabulation, or the Re-Education of Undine,” and Dominique Morriseau’s "Night Vision." Breylyn also recently worked as an intimacy coordinator on a UNCSA fourth-year film "Braid Crowns" written by Camryn Chestnut and directed by Sanath Hedge. This semester, Breylyn will be directing Lanford Wilson’s “Breakfast at the Track” in the UNCSA Spring Director’s Festival, which she is also producing.
