J.P. Bradham

JP Bradham always loved telling stories, having her first experience with the joy of making films on her 10th birthday, when she got the camcorder she begged her mom for (which meant she went from forcing her brothers to be in her plays to forcing them to be in her movies).

Although she went to school for architectural design (that never amounted to anything) she would find herself on many different paths that led to a career in marketing. It was after writing copy for so many years and creating content for the corporate world that she found herself landing a gig in a production company working under Director Sophia Banks starting in the commercial department. It was here that she realized that what she did for fun could be what she did for work, too.

Inspired to develop her voice and foundation as a writer, JP was amongst the first group of screenplay writers that went on to work with the Sundance Co//ab program, attending four courses over a span of two years. Always eager to expand her knowledge of her craft, she enrolled in the UCLA Extension Program where she is currently on her way to earn a Certification for Screenplay Writing.

With a (sick) love for the horror genre, JP made her directorial debut with her award winning short film "Consumed", a project with a message of the insidious nature of consumerism, asking the question: are we buying from a corporation or is a corporation buying us?

JP has a passion for using horror as a vehicle for telling stories related to social issues in a subverted way, touching on topics that are already horrifying and amplifying those messages with her work featured in publications such as Horror Buzz, Nightmares Magazine, Indie Wrap and Deadline. Her hope is that no matter how you feel about her work, it always makes you think about things the way she does: a little funny, scary at times and never as it seems.
