About Me
Brian L Tan “BLT”
method directing for explosive imagery & evocative storytelling
I’m an action director that does more than just blow sh*t up. I’ve worked on Hollywood blockbusters (Tron: Legacy, X-Men, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), launched my own startup, and visited more than 110 countries.
My metric of a successful life is one filled with unique experiences. Thanks to said experiences (both good and bad), I've had the chance to see first hand the ideas and elements that inspire, console, entertain, and unite people the world over. And that is exactly what I aim to do; tell stories that reach across borders and ignite peoples' passions and imaginations. It also happens that the most human stories are often the most explosive, which is exactly how I like to tell them.
Hobbies include: Collecting passport stamps, scuba diving with sharks, fencing (both sport and construction), reducing the life expectancy of tires, and hurtling through the air at Mach 1 with hundreds of people in a airborne metal tube (aka flying).
I can be contacted directly via the button below, or stalked on various forms of social media.
Project Greenlight
As I always say: I have a face for radio and a voice for text. I hate being in front of the camera, but as one of the finalists of HBO’s Project Greenlight, we were told to make 2 minute videos about ourselves, I made mine a ridiculous 2 minute, 1 take commercial explaining my directing philosophy (and love of sandwiches).
