Screenwriter & Director Alastair Newton Brown joins Camerons

Camerons is very pleased to welcome Sydney based writer & director Alastair Newton Brown to the agency.

Earlier this year Alastair directed and produced his feature film screenplay Here Be Dragons in Serbia and the film is currently in post. This psychological thriller is about an investigator who quietly goes to Belgrade to catch a war criminal whom everybody thought was dead.

Alastair is currently developing a VR short film called Tipping Point with producers Kate Riedl and Karen Radzyner and the Sydney Dance Company, as well as original television drama series and feature screenplays for the local and international markets.

In 2015 Alastair was awarded a Screen Australia grant to develop his own slate of screen projects while working at screenwriter John Collee’s company, DeWinter Snow, under the mentorship of John and producer Andrew Mason. In that role Alastair co-wrote feature scripts with John Collee, developed his own features as well as assisted on others as a script consultant. Alastair has also written, directed and produced a number of short films.

Prior to his full-time screen career Alastair taught Modern European History, Politics and Critical Thinking to high school students in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and in Edinburgh, Scotland. He is a photographer with much work exhibited and sold throughout Australia, the UK and UAE, with work published in international publications including National Geographic. He holds a BA (Hons) from UNSW in History, English and Philosophy.
