Brandt was a film producer and director who worked for many production companies in New York, California and Europe. He worked on promotional and educational films, commercials and feature films. Several of the films Brandt worked on were productions of Samuel Bronston, an American producer that pioneered the practice of filming movies overseas to reduce the costs. He also worked with Philip Yordan, a prominent American screenwriter and producer, and Frank Capra, an American director. Brandt was involved with the production of the television series "Adventures of Superman" in 1952.

The collection contains budgets, schedules and other production materials for projects Brandt was involved with. Screenplays and teleplays are included, as well as a small amount of professional correspondence. Materials about overseas studio facilities and a small amount of biographical information about Brandt and actors he worked with are in the collection as well.

There are no access restrictions on the materials for research purposes, and the collection is open to the public.
