Bryan Pike
Director
Bryan Pike has been making films since Primary school and even at this young age always strove to be different and break convention. His second short film featured a Gold Fish that escapes the drudgery of his existence by ensnaring his cross-dressing owner in an elaborate Rube Goldberg trap.
The single most inspiring film of Bryan's adolescence was Jean Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro's Delicatessen (1991). The richness of ideas, invention, black humour and visual style consolidated everything Bryan wanted to do with filmmaking and how he saw the world.
He graduated from the University of Canberra with a Bachelor of Media Arts and Production, giving him a broad base of skills in editing, sound production, TV, film and web design. Bryan ultimately aims to become a writer/director of feature films and hopes to create visions of the world that shock, inspire, horrify, titillate and challenge and give voice to the unique, the bizarre and the beautiful.
His short films have received numerous awards and featured in a number of prominent festivals including Crypticon Seattle, AtomFest, the Canberra Short Film Festival and Cirque Du Nocturne.
