DIRECTOR'S BIO: Brad Riddell has written four feature films for Hollywood studios, including Paramount, Fox, and Universal. His first film, American Pie: Band Camp, remains one of the highest-grossing live-action DVD releases in history, and is now syndicated on TBS. His most recent film, Crooked Arrows, was released nationally in theaters in 2012, and is the first mainstream lacrosse movie ever produced. Brad’s other credits include films in the Road Trip and Slap Shot franchises. Ten More is his directorial debut. Brad holds a MFA in screenwriting from the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts, where he taught for seven years before accepting a post as an assistant professor at DePaul University in Chicago.

DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT:  In 2014, I was struck with a brain injury that left my future uncertain. TEN MORE offers a suspenseful glimpse into the moment I was forced to accept a new reality and begin again. I have since recovered fully, and am grateful for the opportunity to have made this film with the support of a grant from DePaul University’s Project Bluelight. I was fortunate to benefit from the talents of an extraordinary crew and a cast that often left me speechless. This film is dedicated to all those who begin again.
