| Submission declined on 9 March 2024 by Theroadislong (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by Theroadislong 3 months ago. | |

Early Life[edit]
Brier began her acting career at age 9 working in a variety of performance outlets. This started with commercial work for brands including Chuck E. Cheese, Dixie Plates, and Acuvue Contact Lenses [2] . She moved into theater work with principal and ensemble roles such as Jemima Potts in the US Tour of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang [3] (2008) and on Broadway playing Debbie in Billy Elliot the Musical [4] (2011).
When not on the main stage, Brier performed back home on Long Island. Screen-wise, she appeared in multiple shorts including Sane Jules Blaine. Directed by Andrew Simkiss, it earned the 2009 Warner Brothers Film Award [5] and King Award from New York University’s First Run Film Festival [6].
She completed her secondary education at The Wheatley School [7], acting in local productions and served as Vice President of their theatre company. Delving into work behind the camera, she produced, directed, wrote, and edited the short film A Helping Hand [8]. It awarded her as the winner of the Creative Empowerment Arts College Scholarship [9] and recipient of the 2014 Long Island Arts Alliance Scholar-Artist.

After graduating from Wheatley in 2015 Brier attended the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. In 2020, she earned a Bachelors of Science in Film and Media with a minor in French [10].

Alongside those, her focus has been creating and starring in short films. Work included Bandito Melancholia [11], Tape [12], and Small Time [13].
The latter was released in 2020, playing the role of Shelley. It accumulated hardware both domestically and internationally. That year, it earned Best Feature at the Centre Film Festival [14] and EDA Award for Best Female Directed Feature at the 2020 Whistler Film Festival [15] followed up by the Spirit of Freedom Award [16] at The Bahamas International Film Festival [17] in 2021.
Her latest short, Sour Honey [18], which is dedicated to sex workers everywhere, is set to release Summer 2024.
