Marvin was born on Hill Air Force Base, Utah.   His family later settled in the Washington, DC area when his father retired from the military.

Bryson's first taste of artistic success came as a teen rhythm guitarist in the go-go band Hot Property.  The group was managed by seventies funk sensation Sir Joe Quaterman.  Marvin was also a standout athlete in high school running track and earning a football scholarship to the University of the District of Columbia.

Having achieved professional success as a telecommunications manager in the corporate world, Marvin set his sights on film editing in the new millennium attending Jamie Fowler's Avid Film Camp in Portland, Oregon.  While there the bulk of his introduction to Avid systems came as an Additional Editor on Carmella Cardina's modern day adaptation of William Shakesperare's The Tempest where he earned his first screen credit.

2002 found Bryson settling in Los Angeles where he landed a staff position at the world renowned America Film Institute Conservatory.  Shortly thereafter Marvin literally received a offer he couldn't refuse, joining the post production crew on the Emmy-award-winning television franchise Law & Order.  

Over his five seasons at Wolf Films Bryson developed an expertise in broadcast television post production; while also learning the art of creative producing from the best in the business, immersing himself in all aspects of the creative process from video taping casting sessions (with executive producers Dick Wolf, Neal Bear and Ted Kotcheff), to co-producing a tribute reel featuring Sandra Bullock.

While on hiatus from Law & Order Marvin began writing, producing, and directing.  He often quips that he attended film school in the Jack Webb and Verna Fields buildings at Universal Studios.

In 2007, a sitcom pilot he conceived was selected as a project for the Producer’s Guild of America’s Diversity Workshop.

Solidifying his transition to writer/producer, the workshop afforded Bryson the opportunity to further hone his creative talents by mixing-it-up with other up and coming producer participants along with notable industry heavyweights Marshall Herskovitz, Ali Le Roi, and Damon Lindelof. 

Marvin is a proud member of the Motion Picture Editor's Guild and the Producer's Guild of America.  Over the course of his decade-long career he has worked on over two-hundred episodes of network television and various independent films.
