Biography

Growing up on a dairy farm meant free film locations for budding TV editor, camera operator and all-rounder Brendan Withy. His first production was crafting homemade knock-off instalments of Doctor Who. "Me and some school mates made all the sets and costumes. We joined two VHS players together and attempted to edit our stuff using the ‘pause’ button.."

“Having got up at 5am to milk the cows and stacking hay bales till one am means that working hard, long hours was always normal for me. My childhood communities were filled with diverse, funny and interesting people — it made me appreciate the compelling stories of ordinary people.”
