Brad McGann (b. 1965, Auckland) grew up in New Zealand and studied at the University of Otago and the Swinburne Film and Television School in Melbourne. He has shot the short TV drama It Never Rains (1996), co-directed the documentary Come As You Are (1996) and has written and directed the award-winning short Possum (1996). In My Father's Den (2004) is his feature directorial debut. "For me, filmmaking is not only about telling stories but about conveying a palpable sense of another person's world - how they experience things, not just what they do. My favourite filmmakers - Malick, Kieslowski, Cassavetes, Loach, Bertolucci, Tarkovsky - gave me an appreciation for this type of subjective filmmaking where authenticity, intimacy, and point-of-view were more important than a clever plot."
