Braddon (/ˈbræd-ənˈ/) Mendelson is an American playwright, director, and producer. He is the author of seven full-length plays, including Rembrandt Perfected -- winner of the 2022 Long Beach Playhouse New Works Festival; Gallows Falls, a ghost story set in Vermont; and Provenance, the story of an 18th century French game table's journeys back through time. His short one-act plays, Old Friends and Juneteenth, have been presented at festivals in New York City and Pelham, NY, respectively. [1] He produced the 1998 cult classic film "Boogie Boy,"[2] which was directed by Craig Hamann and executive produced by Academy Award winner Roger Avary (both of whom were collaborators on Quentin Tarantino's first film "My Best Friend's Birthday").
As a music video producer, Mendelson worked with some of the top R&B and Rap artists of the late 1990s, including Xzibit,[3] Outkast, Bizzy Bone, Mo Thugs and Ice Cube. He frequently collaborated on music videos with his former screenwriting partner Brian Smith.[4] As a consequence of producing Outkast's 1998 music video for their song "Rosa Parks," Mendelson in 2005 was added as a defendant to the Rosa Parks v. LaFace Records lawsuit,[5] but was subsequently dismissed from the case by the presiding judge.
Mendelson co-created the video poetry series, "CineVerses" with poet/composer Jerry Danielsen. In 2010, he wrote and illustrated the children's book "Have You Seen the Tickle Bug?" and is the director and on-camera host for the children's YouTube show, "Read Me a Story with Brad Mendelson." He also publishes the award-winning[6] satirical website TheSkunk.org.
Mendelson is also a progressive political activist, who was elected as a delegate to the California Democratic Party in 2013 and 2015.[7][8]
