Brendan Prost

In the last decade, 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 and a dozen shorts. His character-driven work is characterized by powerful performances, a uniquely earnest spirit, and a thematic interest in alienation and longing. 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, Ashland Independent Film Festival, Indie Memphis, Inside Out - Toronto LGBT Film Festival, and Telefilm Canada's Not Short on Talent Program at Cannes. His work has also been broadcast on networks like CBC and Hulu, and garnered more than 3 million views on The Queer Network. 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 just completed his Master of Fine Arts in Film and Creative Writing at the University of British Columbia.
