Brandon Saunders

Bron in Rotorua, New Zealand, I grew up in Te Puke with my two older sisters and parents. At age 7, I moved with my family to the Gold Coast, Australia where I attended A.B. Paterson College until I left school after completing year 10, to pursue an apprenticeship in Cabinet Making. I worked as a Cabinet Maker for six years, completing my apprenticeship in four, before I moved to Perth, WA, and began working in the mines as a Shotfirer. After two years in the mines, I came back to the Gold Coast to work as a Telecommunications Rigger in Brisbane. I worked for a further two years as a Rigger, working all over Australia. It was while working in Darwin I fell in love with writing. Over the past two years I have written many scripts (feature and shorts) and In January 2016, I left my job as a Rigger, so I could pursue my dream of becoming a filmmaker.
