Brand New Cherry Flavor

Editor - Greg O'Bryant

Brand New Cherry Flavor editor, Greg O'Bryant told his frequent collaborator, and B.N.C.F. show runner, Nick Antosca that he couldn't believe that any studio would back a series based on Todd Grimson's 1996 book of the same name; but if any did, Greg was "all in".  As it turns out, Netflix was all in too.  The result is an 8-episode series that almost defies description, but here's how Netflix describes it anyway.

A filmmaker heads to Hollywood in the early '90s to make her movie but tumbles down a hallucinatory rabbit hole of sex, magic, revenge — and kittens.

As accurate a description as that is, it doesn't even scratch the surface of what Greg and his friends created for the streaming giant.

GREG O'BRYANT

Brand New Cherry Flavor editor, Greg O'Bryant first began his partnership with Nick Antosca on Channel Zero, a SyFy Channel anthology series based on the popular Internet "Creepypastas" Candle Cove, The No-End House and Butcher's Block.  This would not be the first anthology series where O'Bryant would lend his editorial talents, as he also worked on the tv adaptation of Steven Soderbergh's The Girlfriend Experience.  Prior to Brand New Cherry Flavor, O'Bryant and Antosca would join forces once again on Hulu's original series, The Act.  In addition to these projects, Greg also edited the critically acclaimed political drama, The Report.
