Brendon McDonall is a BAFTA-nominated filmmaker based in Gadigal Country/Sydney. His short films have led to much acclaim and awards. An AFTRS Masters and Graduate Diploma graduate in both directing and screenwriting, he won the AFTRS/Foxtel Award for Exceptional Talent and was Associate Director of ‘Janet King’ (ABC/Screentime) with mentor Ian Watson. Brendon started his career as an actor and theatre director. He appeared in over 20 productions for Bell Shakespeare, STC Ed, Belvoir B Sharp, Monkey Baa, Q Theatre, RTC, Theatre South and Darlinghurst Theatre.
Brendon has directed over 30 productions and is currently writing and will direct a chapter of Tony Ayres Productions' anthology feature film ’Ten Moments’. He recently returned to the stage to direct the sell-out premiere of Sarah Walker’s ‘Who’s Afraid?’ for Belvoir, a queer reimagining of Virginia Woolf. Brendon’s pre-professional vocation started at his beloved Roo Theatre. His 1997 production of ‘Whistle Down The Wind’ was a touchstone experience he holds deep in his heart.
