Byron McNally
- Producer
Byron McNally is a Film Producer who has achieved a Berlinale Crystal Bear win, a BAFTA nomination, and nominations at festivals like Sundance, SXSW, and the Hong Kong International Film Festival.
As a Development Producer, Byron has secured funding for various projects. Several of these have received financial backing from organisations like the British Film Institute (BFI).
Currently, Byron is in an exciting collaboration with Andy Paterson, whose previous films include The Girl with the Pearl Earring and The Railway Man. Together, they are co-producing a feature film adaptation of Mark Haddon's notable short story, Wodwo.
Additionally, Byron is a Co-producer for a behind-the-scenes documentary focused on Michael Mann's feature film, Enzo Ferrari. The documentary, with its A-list cast including Adam Driver and Penelope Cruz, is in post-production. He is also producing a feature-length documentary, a project that recently completed its first shooting block in Mongolia. It is slated for its next shooting block in London come November.
Outside the traditional cinema sphere, Byron produced the video game Unknown Number, which swept the NYX Game Awards last year, claiming titles for Best Indie Game, Best Storytelling, Best Innovation, and Best Performance. Metro described it as "an enticing puzzle adventure that tells a great story... a truly impressive feat for a tiny indie studio".
Beyond his production work, Byron co-founded Script Compass in 2020, a development house that earned the title 'Best London Creative Start-Up' in the UK StartUp Awards this year. In 2021, the South African Chamber of Commerce in London recognised him as the 'Rising Star of the Year'.
