Brian Hecker grew up as a pathetic girlfriendless dweeb in South Florida, the subject of his autobiographical feature film "Bart Got a Room". Brian gave William H. Macy curly hair in the movie to resemble his own dad. Brian received his bachelor's degree at Northwestern University and his MFA at the American Film Institute where he was award ed 'Director of the Year'. His thesis film "Family Attraction", starring the late Chris Penn and Martin Sheen, earned over a dozen national and international film festival award s and is considered one of AFI's highest grossing short films to date, still popular on itunes. Upon graduation, Brian developed scripts for Miramax, MGM, and Universal. Most recently, Paramount Pictures hired Brian and his writing partner to write a biopic for Leonardo Dicaprio about the 29-year-old rebel-genius Nolan Bushnell who, in 1972, created Pong and started Atari (becoming the fastest growing company in American history).
