==Early life==
Bran Ferren was the only child of artists John Ferren and Rae Ferren.〔 He grew up surrounded by art, artists, and technology. His father, whose work is part of the permanent collections of many American art museums, mixed with luminaries such as Picasso, Miró, and Mondrian before becoming an integral member of the New York School of Abstract Expressionists.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=John Ferren Biography )〕 His father was also personal friends with Alfred Hitchcock and created paintings for ''The Trouble with Harry'' and designed the nightmare sequence in ''Vertigo''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The world gone wiggy: The Trouble with Harry (1955) )〕 Ferren's uncles came from the worlds of engineering and technology: Roy Ferren served as director of flight test for North American Aviation (later North American Rockwell), and Stanley Tonkel, a noted senior recording engineer for Columbia Records, engineered recordings for artists such as Miles Davis.
Ferren started his first design company, Synchronetics while in high school. He left high school at age 16 to attend MIT, but departed in 1970 to continue entrepreneurial pursuits. Before his 21st birthday, Ferren had worked on TV commercials, films, and regional theater. He had also pioneered visual effects for arena concerts for groups such as Emerson, Lake & Palmer using pyrotechnics, audio, and novel lighting techniques.〔
