Comments
Brandon Hackett is a Canadian Screen Award- and Dora-nominated comedian, actor and TV Writer based in Toronto. His recent TV writing credits include Shelved, Made For TV and The Popularity Papers. On the performance side, Brandon is an alumnus of Toronto’s Second City Mainstage, where he co-wrote and performed in four revues, including the Canadian Comedy Award-nominated Party Today (Panic Tomorrow) and The Best is Yet to Come Undone. Brandon is currently a resident at the CFC for Screenwriting.
The CFC’s “In Character” Productions are original, cinematic character driven 2-hander scenes, written by the writers and directed by the directors in the Norman Jewison Film Program. These are intended to deepen our filmmakers appreciation of cinematic character creation and working with actors within a very contained on-set experience. Actors involved in these productions will have the opportunity to work with 2 different directors as they direct them in the same scene and these produced scenes will be made available later in September for the actor’s reels.
