Ray Lënard Brown
Writer/Director Producer
Ray Lenard Brown's passion for storytelling ignited at the tender age of 11 when he fell in love with film and began crafting short stories. Since then, his literary and cinematic journey has flourished.

Ray's academic achievements are just as impressive. A graduate of Full Sail University, he earned both a Bachelor's in Business and a Master's in Creative Writing, blending his business acumen with his creative genius. As a Professor of Creative Writing at Georgia State University and Liberty University, Ray dedicates himself to inspiring the next generation of storytellers.
