Byrne wrote, directed, produced, and acted in the film, which amassed over 13 Million views on YouTube and earned him 23 nominations and 12 wins, solidifying his reputation and influence in the industry.
What truly sets Brendan apart is his impressive versatility as an Actor. He has played the lead in films such as the creature feature "There's Something in the Pilliga," the comedy mockumentary "The Life of Baldrick," and the psychological thriller "Death's Waiting Room," which he co-wrote and starred in alongside Aussie legend Roger Ward (Mad Max, Turkey Shoot, Boar). Additionally, Byrne has also featured in unforgettable roles for the SupaNova Comic-Con fan-favorite "A Blaster in the Right Hands," cult classic "Wyrmwood," and the multi-award-winning action film "Bleeding Backs."
