Who is Bryan Harris?
I’m a writer and director who loves family, friends, technology, and keeping up with the latest in TV, film, and comics. Storytelling has always been the center of my life. Whether I’m watching, writing, or filming, I’m constantly exploring how stories connect us and challenge us.
Do you remember the exact moment you fell in love with cinema?
I don’t remember the exact moment, but I can point to two memories that narrowed it down. The earliest story, according to my family, is me at two years old watching Cats & Dogs, shouting, “No, Lou, no!” at the screen. Even then, I was emotionally invested. That was my first understanding of how powerful storytelling could be. The second moment came when I was 17 and Batman v Superman hit theaters. I remember thinking, “People dedicate their whole lives to filmmaking.” That realization changed something in me. It made me see cinema not just as entertainment, but as purpose.
Tell us about your project “SCP-Zombie”.
SCP-Zombie exists within the larger SCP universe, an online collaborative writing project that anyone can contribute to. The SCP Foundation is essentially a catalog of horror stories organized by numbered anomalies. Each entry focuses on a monster, object, or humanoid anomaly that is captured and studied. My film centers around an outbreak of SCP-008, known as the Zombie Plague virus. It follows a group of survivors who must shelter in place while waiting for rescue. At its core, the film explores fear, isolation, and how people respond when systems of control begin to collapse. As for my film it follows a group of survivors that live through an outbreak of SCP-008 the Zombie Plague virus. The survivors must shelter in place until help arrives.
Which Director inspires you the most?
Zack Snyder inspires me the most. After watching Batman v Superman, I did a deep dive into his filmography and realized he had directed many films I already loved. I had only missed a few. His bold visual style, mythic scale, and willingness to take risks deeply resonate with me. His work reinforced my desire to pursue filmmaking seriously.
What do you dislike about the world and what would you change?
The world is beautiful. From the oceans to the sky, it’s filled with wonder, mystery, and love. But if I could change one thing, it would be the human mindset. We can be violent, destructive, and lacking in empathy. If we led with empathy, we would understand that people make mistakes. We would be kinder to emotional and physical pain. We would accept different cultures, religions, and lifestyles without hostility. The lack of empathy is what I would change.
How do you imagine cinema in 100 years?
In 100 years, I imagine cinema being separate yet connected. Traditional physical theaters may decline, but technology will bring audiences together in new ways. I believe virtual reality will be perfected, allowing people to simulate the theater experience from their own homes while still sharing it with others across the world.
What is your impression of WILD FILMMAKER?
I think WILD FILMMAKER is doing something important. They create space for artists to share their thoughts and vision while asking thought-provoking questions that push deeper reflection.
