Stewart Main

Stewart Main is a director noted for his strong sense of visual style, and commitment to themes of individuality, sexuality and human rights. As well as his own projects (including feature 50 Ways of Saying Fabulous), a fruitful partnership with Peter Wells has produced several noted dramatic and documentary films, including the genre-bending, colonial-set bodice-ripper Desperate Remedies.

Making films has taught me that truth comes in all shapes and sizes.
