She moved into theater work with principal and ensemble roles such as Jemima Potts in the US Tour of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang [3] (2008) and on Broadway playing Debbie in Billy Elliot the Musical [4] (2011).

When not on the main stage, Brier performed back home on Long Island. Screen-wise, she appeared in multiple shorts including Sane Jules Blaine. Directed by Andrew Simkiss, it earned the 2009 Warner Brothers Film Award [5] and King Award from New York University’s First Run Film Festival [6].

Alongside those, her focus has been creating and starring in short films. Work included Bandito Melancholia [11], Tape [12], and Small Time [13].

The latter was released in 2020, playing the role of Shelley [14]. It received praise domestically and internationally.
