Evan Coyne Maloney (born October 27, 1972), is an American documentary filmmaker, the editor of the website Brain Terminal and a video blogger. A New York Sun profile in 2005 said that Maloney “may very well be America’s most promising conservative documentary filmmaker.” He has been described as the conservative answer to Michael Moore.
“Shortly after his tenth birthday,” according to Maloney's biography on his own website, Brain Terminal, he “was introduced to his two main passions: politics and technology.” Politics was the subject of family dinner-table discussions, and his parents were liberal, so he handed out flyers in Manhattan for Walter Mondale's presidential campaign. Talk radio, however, introduced him to conservative ideas, and when Maloney, as a student at JHS 167, had to give a classroom presentation on nuclear weapons, he rejected “the propaganda propagated in schools... that President Reagan was going to drive us headlong into nuclear war,” knowing “viscerally that our weapons protected our country and helped keep the peace.” In an interview with the New York Sun, Maloney described that incident in this way: when delivering a classroom presentation “about the danger of nuclear weapons,” he “realized I didn’t believe a word I was saying.” In 1989 he volunteered on Rudolph Giuliani's mayoral campaign.
Maloney learned at an early age about computer programming, and at age twelve wrote an Apple II program called Foscil DOS, “a disk operating system that was marketed through magazines and stores.”
He attended Bucknell University, where he published a conservative newspaper, The Sentinel.
He later said that he and other students at Bucknell “were being preached to about sensitivity and tolerance, but when no tolerance was shown to people sharing my opinion, it seemed that the university didn’t care.”
He graduated from Bucknell University in 1994 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration.
In the mid-1990s, Maloney served as chief of staff for a New York State Assembly campaign and as campaign manager for two candidates in Civil Court Judge races.
From 1994 to early 2002, Maloney worked principally as a software developer for Internet start-ups. From 1995 thru 1998, Maloney was the lead developer of UNET's KeepTalking web chat server.
