Brian Jude is an American screenwriter, film producer, director, actor, internet radio host and motivational speaker.
Brian Jude was born on August 21, 1971, in Long Branch, New Jersey [1] and grew up in Howell Township, New Jersey, where he attended Howell High School [2] [3] with CBS sportscaster Bonnie Bernstein, talk radio personality Scott Allen Miller and fine artist Jay Alders.
He received a Bachelor of Arts in Broadcasting at Montclair State University in 1995, and minored in both Music History/Theory and Film. [4] His fellow students at the time included Jay Alders once again, filmmaker Tom Malloy, radio personality Christine Nagy, actress/filmmaker Susie Adriensen [5] and actor Kevin Carolan. At Montclair, Jude became a member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia fraternity and The National Broadcasting Society - Alpha Epsilon Rho, [4] and was a disc jockey and Operations Manager at WMSC (FM). [1]
During an internship at Batfilm Productions, headed by executive producers Michael Uslan (a family friend) and Benjamin Melniker, Jude met future Friday's Child frontman Tom Walker. [5] Walker's predecessor at Batfilm, Kimberly Fajen, hired Jude on his first feature film job just days before his graduation in May, 1995. [1]
Jude has worked as a producer, director, screenwriter, production manager, assistant director, production coordinator, editor and script consultant on feature-length and short films, music videos and television programs and commercials. He started his career in film providing craft service on the feature films Caught , No Way Home, and the HBO special Someone Had To Be Benny. Jude began to work his way up as an assistant director on the films Safe Men , Taxman , Some Fish Can Fly and A Day in Black and White. [6]
In 2001, Jude launched Dragon Rider Productions, LLC with producer Richard Legon. The company was specifically formed for the development of the feature film, Ride With the Dragons, based on Jude's personal experiences in high school, focusing mainly on a friend's suicide and his step-brothers subsequent death in a car accident. [5] Dragon Rider Productions branched out to develop and produce a variety of short, feature-length films and commercials, provide screenplay analysis and other production services. [7]
In 2002, Brian Jude became a founding member of Exit 131 Productions, initially a "no-budget" production arm of the New Jersey Salon of the Association of Independent Video and Filmmakers, and which has since evolved into an online networking community for New Jersey filmmakers. Jude directed the group's first short, A Taste of Better Days, which starred his wife Melanie Canter and was featured in the Freedom Film Festival in Philadelphia in February, 2004, and produced their third project, The Collector's Item.

On July 30, 2005, the indie rock group Friday's Child performed a CD release concert at Luna Stage in Montclair, New Jersey. The concert was recorded on audio and video in a joint venture by Dragon Rider Productions and frontman Tom Walker's Honeybee Music, produced by Brian Jude and Tom Walker, and directed by Brian Jude. Rich Haddad produced the audio, and the video was edited by Steve Maio. The initial concept for the production was a DVD/CD called Friday's Child: Live at Luna Stage. [8] After a handful of tracks were mixed and edited, they were released as teasers on the internet. The overwhelming response from fans made it clear that the future of the band was to turn to broadband media in order to spread their music and attract new listeners. [7] While more videos were edited, the DVD was never released, and Friday's Child instead released the audio recordings as a studio/live album in 2007 named Democracy. The CD contained the live recordings combined with select re-mixed tracks from their 2004 album In A Word, as well as a video of the song The Chasing Game. An interactive section of the CD also promoted the web sites for Friday's Child, Dragon Rider Productions, a handful of sponsors and friends, as well as a new outlet for Friday's Child...

Friday's Child performed at the premiere DCT concert in June 2006, launching a series of concerts running throughout the summer of 2006, which included artists the Audibles, and Secret Gossip among others. DCT continued their live concert series at other venues, such as The Cutting Room, The Baggott Inn and Kenny's Castaways. [10]
