ABOUT
Brent McCorkle has loved movies for as long as he can remember.
As kids, he and his brother stopped counting after they had watched 'The Empire Strikes Back' and 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' forty times each.
​
Brent's films are known for their heartfelt and visually-compelling storytelling ... including an award-winning film that caught the eye of Steven Spielberg, landing him a first-look deal with DreamWorks and Fox Television.
BRENT ON THE SET OF 'UNCONDITIONAL'
His feature film directorial debut was the biographical drama “Unconditional”, which was nominated for an Image award and shot entirely on location in the Nashville area. He wrote, directed, edited and co-scored the film.
