About the Man

Brandon Bourne was born on July 30th, 1988 in Port Jervis, NY. As a small child, he was excited about creating things. Performing shows for his friends and family in a garage or backyard somewhere. His true passion came along when he watched his brother create some movie magic with a simple camcorder. Performing skits and making home movies turned into a long running career behind a camera.

In 1995, at the age of seven, he started a little company called “BBW Productions”, which stood for Brandon Benjamin Wilson Productions. He would go on creating short films and would have his friends involved. Over time, he changed the name of the company to 008 Entertainment once YouTube launched.

In 2006, he would launch a show that would be received highly in regards to internet popularity. The show was called The I Hate Show. The show was about self-opinionated rants, along with skits, with what became a normal crew and random strangers. The show lasted until Fall of 2009 with 4 seasons, then a documentary in 2011.

After many years being in front and behind the camera, he attempted to create a video game show in 2012 called Game Testers. Brandon and his crew would play various video games and commentate over the game footage in a format called Let’s Play. The show would last until 2014. During the show, Brandon launched his own Podcast where him and the 008 crew would discuss various topics about current events, media, and personal stories. The Podcast only lasted a year, but it was one of the very few video/audio podcasting platforms at the time.

Once the shows were finished, he had a lot going on in his personal life and started to lose the passion he once did. In January 2016, Brandon decided to end 008 Entertainment to pursue different ventures.

After Brandon closed things down with his company, he decided to take up photography in July 2017 and call it Bourne Images. He would mainly shoot model photography for various magazines and local artist. Slowly, but surely his passion would return to his love of creating content for many to enjoy. Fast forward a few years, Brandon decided to return to YouTube with a new gaming channel called Game Travelerz. A rebranding of his old product, but with a more consistent. Instead of releasing one video a week, he decided to make a full week of programming for regular gamers who enjoy full playthroughs of video games. The channel is still continuing today, while Bourne Images had shut down in 2022 to put more focus on his channel.
