After graduation he was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to Mongolia where he researched the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities. His project culminated in a multimedia exhibition funded by the US and British Embassies shown at the Mongolian Museum of Modern Art and the LGBT Center of New York City. The short film installed in the exhibit has been accepted into the Hamburg Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, Barcelona Film Festival, and NewFest in Manhattan.

During his Fulbright, Brandt had his photographs featuring traditional Mongolian culture published in The Atlantic Monthly. He later moved to Cambodia where he was an associate editor for the nation's English-language newspaper.
