WE ARE
BRTHR -pronounced "Brother"- is Tokyo native, Alex Lee and Long Island bred, Kyle Wightman. They were both quiet thinkers as children, but came out of their shells (a little) just as Youtube was created… It was through that platform, Alex & Kyle would express their ridiculously strange ideas in the form of videos. That awkward phase ended around the time they hit puberty, but they both decided to venture in film and study it in college after high school.
So Alex set flight from Japan and Kyle moved 70 miles west to start studying in Manhattan. They quickly befriended each other, worked on projects, and left film school after two years to take on the "real world," so to speak. Their motivation was to take advantage of their youth and invest everything into video making- so that's what they did. After 8 months of pure, hard, non-stop work- stress, and countless challenges, they are here.
Alex and Kyle determine to continuously push themselves as directors, post-production people, photographers and writers. As a result, the duo has been able to develop a prolific reel, and has quickly gained recognition for their epileptic, fast-paced videos with a bold graphic style. They live to work on things that inspire them, and hope to inspire in return.
