Brian Newell

The man who brought idiosyncratic visual storytelling to life, Brian Newell, was born in 1963 in Bristol, England and has been active in the film industry since the mid-1980s. Known for his unique blend of horror, comedy, and drama, Newell has helmed various noteworthy films such as "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" and "Zombie Love," that have earned him a cult following but no major film festival awards. Newell's directorial style is characterized by his penchant for unconventional narratives, offbeat humor, and a distinct blend of tension and whimsy. Beyond the camera, Brian Newell in person is as engaging and warm as his films, with an infectious passion for storytelling that is as palpable as it is inspiring.
