Burleigh Smith

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Burleigh Smith (born Andrew Christopher Burleigh Smith, January 7, 1979) is an Australian film director and screenwriter. His films fit into one of two different categories; the character-centred drama, usually shot with handheld, digital photography; or the romantic comedy, shot with conventional photography and with emphasis on dry wit and desperate characters. Smith was a finalist at the 2007 Tropfest Film Festival for "Mere Oblivion", a film he describes as "a Woody Allen-style comedy that takes a serious look at old age".
