  • Dr Darren Fisher

    Head of Film, Screen and Creative Media

    An award-winning screenwriter, producer, and director, Darren made his feature film debut writing, producing, and directing the pioneering micro- budget Inbetweeners. Released by Universal Pictures, it became the first fully digital film ever to play the UK multiplexes.

    Darren writes and directs for both film and television, with his most recent feature, the alternate-reality romantic mystery Frequencies (formerly OXV: The Manual) winning a raft of festival awards before being released worldwide to rave reviews. The New York Times called it

    “fiercely intelligent”, Indiewire called it “a wildly original sci-fi treat”, Ain’t It Cool News “adored it”, and The Hollywood Reporter commented that it had “the political heft of a 1984 or Brave New World”. Currently, Darren is in development across a range of screen projects both in Australia and the US. In 2018 he was the recipient of the prestigious Greg Coote Scholarship, awarded by Australians in Film and Screen Queensland to a screen practitioner with a successful track record of creating compelling drama for the screen.
