Brendan is an award-winning writer and director. After running around Camden with a camera shooting local bands music videos, he thought the only way to make a dent into the professional world of promo directing was to write the music as well. He got a guitar, learnt to play, a year later his band won the biggest battle of the bands in the world and the music video he directed got nominated for a UK MVA. Soon after he was signed to a production company and spent a few years directing music videos. He suddenly realised the reason he picked up a camera in the first place was to make films, proper films. He then began writing his first short film 'Roger', proof of concept for a feature film. He shot Roger in 2016 staring John Bradley' (Game of Thrones) and comedian Seann Walsh, it then went on to be screened at over fifty film festivals around the world, many BAFTA and Academy award qualifying, it was nominated and won various awards. His focus is creating worlds and characters different form normality, but highlighting human misgivings. His ideas are sometime weird, sometimes dark, but always fun and entertaining. Brendan has since directed 'The Dead Collectors' starring Ivan Kaye (Vikings, Bubblegum Milkshake) and Elliot Langridge (Northern Soul), 'Living Next Door to Alex' starring Tom Bell (The Mash Report) and Richard Rycroft (Game of Thrones), 'The Lawnmower Men', 'Coldplay' and 'The Wrong Swipe', all screening at festivals worldwide. He is currently in postproduction for his latest short 'Sam and Doug' a zombie thriller starring Craig Charles (Red Dwarf) and Karla Langly (Call the Midwife, Carnival Row). The feature film script for the '"˜Roger' feature film got to the semifinal of every major screenplay competition in the world, and was featured on the Hollywood Blacklist websites 'Top Comedy scripts'. Brendan is currently attached to direct his first feature film shooting in the UK in early 2022.
