Brendan Prost

BIOGRAPHIE

In the last decade, former child actor Brendan Prost has been quietly emerging as one of the most prolific young filmmakers in Canada, with an impassioned and eclectic body of work that includes four features, a dozen shorts, as well as several web series and music videos. His character-driven work is characterized by powerful performances, a uniquely earnest spirit, and a thematic interest in alienation, longing, and vulnerability. Brendan’s films have screened at major international and Oscar-qualifying film festivals like the Edinburgh International Film Festival, Nashville Film Festival, Rhode Island International Film Festival, Vancouver International Film Festival, Manchester Film Festival, Inside Out - Toronto LGBT Film Festival, and Telefilm Canada’s Not Short on Talent Program at Cannes. His notable broadcast and online premieres include Hulu, CBC, Omeleto, The Directors Notes, and The Queer Network where his short Loretta’s Flowers has more than three million views. Brendan graduated with distinction from Simon Fraser University’s School for the Contemporary Arts, is an alumni of the Directors’ Lab at the Canadian Film Centre, and recently completed his Master of Fine Arts in Film and Creative Writing at the University of British Columbia. Brendan is currently in development on three feature films—the psychological horror film Stifle (with Archipelago Productions, Snail Mail Media, and Scythia Films), the cult horror film #KillAllMen (semi-finalist in the Academy’s Nicholl Fellowship competition), and the hybrid documentary The Performance of a Lifetime.
