Brawler Signs Director Adrian Picardi to Company Roster

Brawler proudly announces the signing of acclaimed director Adrian Picardi, bringing his award-winning storytelling and innovative vision to the production company’s roster.

Born in West Hollywood and raised in South Pasadena, Picardi graduated from the Los Angeles Film School in 2006 and began his career in television. His talent emerged early, with his first student film winning the Grand Prize at a film festival hosted by an award-winning composer and screening at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.

In 2011, Picardi broke new ground in digital-to-broadcast content with “The Resistance”, which aired on the Syfy network. Produced by Starz and Sam Raimi’s Ghost House Pictures, the project was among the first web series to successfully make the leap to national television.

Over the course of his career, Picardi has also directed branded and commercial work for a wide range of clients from UC San Diego to Xbox and Ubisoft, showcasing his ability to move seamlessly between entertainment and brand storytelling.

"We’re thrilled to have Adrian as part of the Brawler team," said Caspar von Winterfeldt, Owner of Brawler. "His experience in both traditional and emerging platforms makes him a perfect fit for the kind of innovative storytelling we deliver."

Picardi’s addition to Brawler further strengthens the company’s commitment to bold, cinematic storytelling across film, television, and branded content.
