Full bio

Brandon XIV is an award-winning filmmaker and technologist working across technology, television, film and live performance. Brandon XIV, known professionally as Brandon Jordan, is co-founder and Chief Product Officer of SHOWRUNNER, an AI-powered virtual-production software company. He is also co-owner and producer of The Mad Ones, a tech-enabled film and television production company. He built his career innovating across industries, from software to television to virtual production and generative AI.

Before moving into film technology, he spent more than a decade building technology for education. In television, he produced Fluff Piece, acquired by Wonder Project for Prime Video, and co-directed every episode of its first season. He produced Storytime with Fiona & Fluff, streaming exclusively on Tubi, and directed and produced Resignation, one of TV’s first shows shot entirely in virtual production, with live actors inside AI-generated environments on LED walls. His films have earned more than 25 awards across more than 50 festivals, three of them Oscar-qualifying. He wrote and directed Beach Day, featuring a group of Grammy-nominated and Tony Award-winning actors, along with 10 Photographs and The Greatest Horror Film (N)ever Made.

On stage, he was media director and producer of If I Awaken at The Ford with the LA Phil and Get Lit, and its cast album passed 30,000 streams in its first week. His own recordings include the spoken-word album One Year and performances on songs with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees and Grammy Award-winning artists and producers. His technology work stretches from The Unreal Ride, combining Unreal Engine and camera robotics, to an agentic AI animation engine he launched and runs today, alongside five Designer of the Year nominations.
