Daily Inspiration: Meet Bryan Hadley

Today we’d like to introduce you to Bryan Hadley.

Hi Bryan, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I’d like to talk about my next film I’m making with the help of 9 other film actors/artists. The film is called EIRE 1974 and tells the very important story of the sad and tragic events of 1974 in Ireland, which were called The Troubles. My best film friend of mine Austin actor Bryan Rogers plays my brother in the film: We play two IRA terrorists who exact revenge on the populations of Northern Ireland and England in that year for the British Army being allowed to be stationed on Irish (Northern Irish) soil. It’s a tragic and sad tale but one that needs to be told so peoples of the world never forget that violence never wins. Only love and warmth and peace wins.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Making a movie always has twists and turns but it is always a beautiful road to act and make film with artists who are truly like family to me. The path of acting and filmmaking; however, is yes .. very challenging. It takes a very long time to REALLY know what you are doing as an actor and especially as a filmmaker.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I quite simply began a road of doing everything on a film set out of necessity or lack of budget. Now, after 12 plus years the process for me and our film teams has become a strength. I am fortunate to work with some great talent in this film: Artists like Bryan Rogers, Mandi Mellen, Bekah Lamb, Dan Salem, Matthew Barth, Mike Pace, Todd Hammett, Ronnie Orman and Antonio Oeler.

We love surprises, fun facts and unexpected stories. Is there something you can share that might surprise us?
I love to ride my bicycle each morning and swim hundreds of yards each morning before I head to the office.
