Photographing director Bryan Singer (SUPERMAN RETURNS, X-MEN) and the late Academy award-winning director John Schlesinger (MIDNIGHT COWBOY, MARATHON MAN) inspired Brian To to direct his first film AUDIT starring Sally Kirkland, Alexis Arquette, and Judy Greer which premiered at the IFP West / LA FILM FESTIVAL.

TV.
Brian To exhibited two solo shows of his art photography and has appeared in several group exhibitions. Regarding his work Brian To says, “There is nothing more beautiful than capturing a truthful moment. Often what people consider mistakes are the most interesting. I simply try to create a free environment which allows subjects to enjoy the purity of the moment as it happens.”
