Oscar-winning director of ICARUS, The Dissident, and ICARUS: The Aftermath.

ICARUS, which exposed Russia’s state sponsored doping program and the whistleblower at the center of it, won Bryan the 2018 Academy Award for Best Documentary and the 2017 Sundance Film Festival Special Jury Prize. He was also awarded the Edward R. Murrow Award for Journalism, Critic’s Choice for Best Sports Documentary, nominated for a BAFTA, three Emmys, and the DGA Award for Best Direction, among many others. The documentary was instrumental in Russia’s ban from the 2018 Winter Olympics and 2020’s Rodchenkov Anti-Doping Act.

After the success of ICARUS, Bryan directed, co-wrote, and produced The Dissident, a documentary feature about the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018. The film premiered at Sundance in 2020 and holds a 96% on Rotten Tomatoes. The Dissident was also nominated for a BAFTA Award, and Bryan won the 2021 WGA Best Documentary Screenplay Award. In 2022, Bryan premiered the follow- up to ICARUS – ICARUS: The Aftermath to rave reviews at the prestigious Telluride Film Festival.
