Gary O'Brien(VIII)
- Editor
- Director
- Producer
GARY has been directing since his early teens making movies and skits guerrilla style. During this same period he has worked on feature films and TV shows, as well as a milieu of corporate events.
His roles have ranged from uncredited VFX technician in "James Bond: Die Another Day" and Oliver Stone's "Alexander", to vision mixing and directing live music concerts as well as shows for Deutsche Bank, Oxford University Press and Cisco. His work has taken him as far a field as New York, Las Vegas, Amsterdam, Morocco and sunny Staines! Gary has also worked as a graphics operator for various live television programs, as well as for corporate clients.
Back in 2003 he had the pleasure of working closely with the late Bob Monkhouse and televisions' Tony Hawks on long time associate and friend, Jeremy Englers' own 50min pilot sitcom "Satsuma and Pumpkin". This project enabled Gary to work with seniority as 2nd unit director, VFX artist, and camera operator amongst other things. His own work has been shown on prime-time TV, when he netted himself a 1000 pounds of prize money when he won a short film competition on Channel 4. A partner in Fix Films Ltd, an up and coming production company, already with 5 powerful short films to it's name, it represents to him a great new company that offers fabulous opportunities to hone his directing, producing as well as editing skills, whilst at the same time puts great films out there for wider audiences to enjoy, be they on television or in the cinema.
In 2017 Gary merged his life long passion for the "Star Trek" franchise with his filmmaking skills and produced a "Chance Encounter - A Star Trek Fan Production". Since then, he has completed a second "Star Trek" film, "The Holy Core".
Gary has no sense of smell.
