Brendan Cowell
Writer and actor Brendan Cowell will make his feature film directorial debut with the adaptation of his play Ruben Guthrie – the story of a wild-boy agency creative who burns himself out.
Cowell’s project is among 19 films to receive a cut of the $450,000 development support from Screen Australia.
Cowell has teamed up with Yael Bergman, producer of I Love You Too, which starred Cowell, and executive producers Laura Waters and Andrea Denholm.
I saw Ruben Gutherie as a play was absolutely brilliant. Can’t wait for the film.
I have been a big fan of his writing since Love My way. For me, he writes male character so well. I predict this will be a great script at least.
