About Brad
Brad Hall is a storyteller at heart and by craft—a seasoned, award-winning creator, producer, and trusted consultant who knows the most powerful stories aren’t just told; they’re deeply felt. With a career that spans networks, nonprofits, digital platforms, and live events, Brad brings heart, clarity, and purpose to every project. He’s a professional storyteller in the truest sense—someone who sees the whole arc from concept to delivery and does what it takes to make the message land.
Over the years, Brad has told a lot of stories. Some have made people laugh or cry. Others have sparked national conversations or driven meaningful change. His work explores the full spectrum of the human experience—from the absurd to the profound—with a consistent focus on emotional truth and connection.
His storytelling journey has taken him to some remarkable places. He’s been high-fived by Oprah, eaten rattlesnake with survivalists in the Arkansas swamps, filmed “lifers” in maximum-security prisons, and followed newlyweds through their first year of marriage. He’s ridden snowmobiles with U.S. Marshals in the dead of an Alaskan winter, stood beside grieving parents in gang-ridden neighborhoods, and helped Nashville drag queens adjust their wigs before stepping into the spotlight. In moments of joy or crisis, humor or heartbreak, Brad seeks out what’s real—and helps others see it too.
Brad’s foundation was forged early in his career during formative stints at Bunim/Murray Productions and major newsrooms like FOX, NBC, and CBS. These experiences sharpened his editorial instincts, taught him to work fast without losing clarity, and reinforced his belief that every story—no matter how big or small—holds a vital human truth.
One of the most defining chapters of Brad’s career was his work on The Teen Files, collaborating with legendary filmmaker Arnold Shapiro. This bold, socially conscious series explored the lives of at-risk teens and addressed pressing issues like addiction, violence, peer pressure, and identity. The Teen Files earned two Primetime Emmys and the Television Academy’s prestigious Governors Award (the highest honor bestowed by the Academy) for using television as a force for good. More than just compelling content, the series proved that storytelling—when done with care and courage—can change minds, shift policy, and transform lives.
Brad has also produced the intimate A&E docuseries Born Behind Bars, following incarcerated mothers raising babies inside prison walls, and supervised Bravo’s Newlyweds: The First Year, a 10-hour unscripted dive into the complexities of new marriage. Whatever the subject, Brad approaches each story with curiosity, integrity, and an eye for the human element.
When COVID hit, Brad’s storytelling skills were unexpectedly called into a new setting: a small elementary school. The needs of the school changed overnight, and what started as a short-term offer to help turned into a multi-year commitment. He stepped in to support operations, lead communications, and help the school community navigate a time of great uncertainty. It was a world away from production—but it relied on the same essential instincts: empathy, structure, timing, and trust. That experience reminded him that storytelling isn’t just a creative skill—it’s a human one. It helps us lead, teach, connect, and move forward.
From writing and directing to producing, consulting, and leading, Brad brings a deep command of the creative process. He thrives on collaboration, sharp thinking, and the quiet persistence it takes to craft meaningful stories in a noisy world.
Because for Brad, storytelling isn’t just content—it’s connection. And every story, if told well, has the power to move us.
