The Team
Meet the People Behind the Lens
CEO / Producer / Director
Bradley Hvolbeck
To pursue his dream of hosting a kids' show, Bradley Hvolbeck, Jr., moved from Connecticut to Los Angeles. It was a long process, starting with the time he spent in front of the camera in films, commercials, and music videos. He then stepped behind the camera to continue his education.
In 1999, he opened Pocket Full of Monkeys Productions, where his first project took him back to his roots. From his years of experience, he produced a documentary on clowns called "Behind the Red Nose." This process took six months, and from there, Pocket Full of Monkeys Productions also did a number of commercials, music videos, and a children's show pilot called "Clown Cooking." During this time, Brad was also an assistant director on many feature films and directed a TV pilot and a short film.
In 2009, he relocated to Rhode Island and opened Breaking Waves Productions, Inc. This move was to develop a feature film called "Watch Island," a movie based in a small ocean community in Rhode Island. Another project that he is involved in is "Steeling Tips," in which he is going to be the producer and writer.
Now in 2025, Brad has founded Hvolbeck Studios in Westerly, RI. The studio operates alongside sister brands Pocket Full of Monkeys Publishing (children's books) and "What's Up Pup?" (kids' YouTube cartoon series), and manages featured artist Junior Toots (juniortoots.com).
