After moving to Ottawa, Ontario at age 6, Stoller began experimenting with movies and animation. He got his first job in the film and television industry when he was 11 years old as host of a TV show on CBC called Film Fun in which he showed kids how to make their own Super-8 movies. He later was able to transform that talent into preparing commercials for various Ottawa businesses that were used on air in the 1970s. Stoller moved to Los Angeles to attend the American Film Institute as a Director Fellow. Stoller directed an episode of the classic George A. Romero TV series, Tales from the Darkside, entitled "The Bitterest Pill" starring Mark Blankfield.

Bryan Michael Stoller directed the famous parody of the 1980s Pepsi commercial which features Michael Jackson. The parody The Shadow of Michael caught Jackson's attention and he telephoned Stoller, a phone-call which launched a twenty-year friendship. They were friends until Jackson's untimely passing in 2009. Michael Jackson was featured in Stoller's feature film Miss Cast Away & the Island Girls (a.k.a. Silly Movie 2). This was Michael's last appearance in a film.
