Parker Gayan

Parker Gayan was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Growing up next door to a movie buff with a mix that would rival the Criterion Collection, he was loaned just about every kind of movie there is. Jumping Chinese vampires, silent French heists, hyper violent American revenge stories, you name it, he probably saw it, albeit at a much younger age than he likely should have. Forgoing traditional film school, he chose to study at the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design. Working extensively in different mediums ultimately helped to inform his distinct and personal cinematic style. He has played a part in almost every department of filmmaking, "wearing all the hats" and making a project happen regardless of size or budget.
