	'Brandi' brought to CSULB  By Wes Woods II Daily Forty-Niner "BraceFace Brandi," a fictious short film that spoofs the media, was shot on campus from Wednesday through Friday last week.   "[The filming took place] for educational experience," said producer Bonnie Curtis, who has worked with Steven Spielburg for many projects, including "Lost World," "Amistad" and "Saving Private Ryan."    "[The project] was to learn how [making a movie] works."   Although rumored that former Cal State Long Beach graduate Steven Spielburg had given money for the production, Curtis said that writer/director Brandy Menefee raised the money herself through friends and family.    Curtis also said that she personally knew people from the campus film department, which led to the movie being filmed on campus, not Spielburg.    The film, however, was meant to be more of a learning experience than an actual movie to be produced for public consumption, she said.    "They let us shoot free as long as we filmed with the [CSULB] film students," she said. "All the equipment was donated [from various people]."   Kent Masters King starred as BraceFace Brandi. Eddie Powers played an Elvis impersonator.
