Braids grew up in Plymouth on in Massachusetts and attended the Plymouth - Whitemarsh High School. Bortens father died in 1986.

As borders for the first time about the AIDS patients, who sold prescription drugs from the black market to other patients read, he was immediately fascinated by the story. 1992 arranged an interview with Ron Woodruff about his experiences with the AIDS diagnosis and such a club to lead.

On the basis of their script was created in 2013, the film Dallas Buyers Club, which in 2014 nominated in six categories for the Oscar.

" Every scene in the film speaks with a man who wants to live and I think to have a part of it in you - not wanting to die and everything you can do to do to stay alive - is a kind of, What can prolong your life? I think part of it extended Ron's life and I think for my father it was very similar He wanted to look for alternative medications. The doctors were very cold There was only protocol for certain chemotherapies and we looked abroad. He was never really confronted with death until he had it - on a physical level, but not on an emotional level. I think Ron Woodroofs character was very similar and when I read about Ron Woodroof, that's what spoke to my heart. "

Braids currently lives in Los Angeles.
