Brian was born in Nairobi, Kenya and spent their first 17 years living there before moving to the
US in fall of 2019. Brian went to an international school that followed the British curriculum and
always had an affinity for the humanities subjects, like history and sociology. Growing up, Brian
would debate between being an actor or a lawyer, but unfortunately didn't expect to succeed in
acting due to living in Kenya. Brian was also a sportsperson in high school, playing high level
soccer and performed as the lead in their High school play.,Brian moved to the US in 2019 and
began their junior year in the US system. When Covid hit in 2020 Brian decided to leave the US
system and go to college in Canada for fall of 2021. Unfortunately, due to COVID delays they found themselves deciding to follow their dream of being an actor and began working towards that at the end of 2022. After a year of classes and short films, Brian Kairo joined together with
Travis Simmons to begin their first feature film production of Burnouts: Stoner Quest.



Travis Simmons
is a producer/actor based in Atlanta, GA where he is currently producing a
feature length film titled “Burnouts: Stoner Quest”. Travis was born in the small town of Jackson, GA as the fourth child. During primary education, Travis both excelled and struggled as
someone with undiagnosed ADHD is likely to do. Travis got his first camera at age 10 and
became enamored with both the complexity and freedom of filming. He wrote scripts and
convinced friends to help him. However, coming from a small town with no real means of
pursuing that dream, Travis decided to join the army as a linguist after graduating high school.

He served for 6 years and was then honorably discharged. He was also officially diagnosed with
both ADHD and bi-polar type 1 around the time of his discharge. The new revelation caused
Travis to re-evaluate his life and he realized his passion for filming and actors had actually only
gotten stronger. He decided to change the trajectory of his life completely and moved to Atlanta
to pursue acting. Travis then met Brian Kairo in an acting class. After becoming friends, they discussed their mutual passion and decided to work on a project together. That project has
turned into “Burnouts: Stoner Quest”
