Brian Wilson (WRITER/EDITOR) cut his teeth in film and video 20 years ago, editing long-form biographical documentaries for Lifetime Television as well as news and cultural reports for Canal Plus Spain and art films for exhibition at prominent galleries. He graduated from Brown University with a degree in Comparative Literature and History and is based in Brooklyn, NY. The 2014 feature documentary he co-directed and co-edited, A WILL FOR THE WOODS, tells the story of a North Carolina man with terminal lymphoma who is determined to receive a natural burial and help save a tract of local woods from being clear-cut. The film won nine awards on the festival circuit, aired on PBS and WORLD Channel stations throughout the US, and is currently being used worldwide to inspire holistic approaches to the end of life that help restore and maintain natural areas. Brian has been honored to further the goals of numerous organizations through his editing on many shorter films, from supporting NYC public school children to responding to sea level rise to building awareness and community in the struggle against the fossil fuel industry in the Southwestern US.
