Berkley Brady

I'm a writer/director with an MFA in Directing from Columbia University, who is based in Calgary, Alberta. I’m inspired by cinematic and art history, hip-hop and the land. I specialize in shooting in extreme locations, and recently had the good fortune of shadowing director's Kari Skogland and Paul Jennings on Wind River: The Next Chapter, shot in the mountains in-and-around Calgary. My debut feature, Dark Nature, I focus on adaptations and working within genre to tell character-driven stories that are visually stunning. My training at Columbia not only exposed me to some of the best filmmakers in the world, but it also taught me how to take stories from script-to-screen, attending to each beat to keep the story moving. Ultimately, I'm motivated by a love of story and a deep respect for the audience; I aim to make work that makes people laugh, cry, and feel connected to the world around us.
