Brad Mays is one of the most popular and richest Filmmaker who was born on May 30, 1955 in St. Louis, Missouri, United States.

The following year, Mays’ feature documentary I Grew Up in Princeton had its premiere showing in Princeton, New Jersey. The film, described in one Princeton newspaper as a “deeply personal ‘coming-of-age story’ that yields perspective on the role of perception in a town that was split racially, economically and sociologically”, is a portrayal of life in the venerable university town during the tumultuous period of the late sixties through the early seventies. Featuring interviews with over 60 artists, political activists, educators, historians, musicians and others, the film deals with the town’s past struggles with racism, political unrest and the still- controversial shutdown of the Institute for Defense Analysis (IDA) during the anti-Vietnam War student strike – both university and high school – in the days immediately following the Kent State shootings of 1970.

During the early 1970s, Mays became involved in the performing arts during a professional internship at the McCarter Theater in Princeton, New Jersey. When his family moved to Maryland in the wake of difficulties resulting from his participation in anti-war demonstrations, Mays became heavily involved in the Baltimore experimental theater scene and, at the age of eighteen, began directing at the Corner Theatre ETC.

In 2009, Brad Mays finished work on the feature-length political documentary The Audacity of Democracy, which followed the 2008 race for the Democratic Presidential Nomination and focused in particular on the notorious PUMA movement. In multiple Blog-Radio interviews, the director expressed dissatisfaction with the project, revealing that he had not been allowed to complete shooting in the manner originally agreed to. On June 6, 2011, Brad Mays discussed his personal and working relationship with his late wife Lorenda Starfelt – who had died of uterine cancer earlier that year – with blog radio host John Smart. In the interview, which Smart described on his website as “harsh, truthful and brutally honest,” Mays revealed the closeness of his artistic collaboration with Starfelt, as well as his reasons for considering their 2010 documentary film co-production The Audacity of Democracy to have been “unsuccessful…incomplete, inconclusive, ultimately unsatisfying and even embarrassing.” In June 2012, Mays’ comedy short The Donut Shop received the “People’s Choice Award” at the San Francisco Black Film Festival, as well as “Best Comedy” at the 2012 San Diego Black Film Festival.
