GREED was on Netflix for 2 years, and this was also Brandi’s feature film debut at the tender age of just 17. To have your feature film debut also be on Netflix is one of Brandi’s proudest accomplishments in her career thus far. Brandi also did 3 more films with dir. Taylor Hayden (The Universe Holographic, The 13th of Never, and Garden of Heathen) but they seemed to have a limited release
