Biography

Raised on a council estate in Nottinghamshire throughout the 70s and 80s but based in Manchester since 2000, former lecturer in Film and Cultural Studies, Brett Gregory, has been an independent filmmaker since 2005. As well as short dramas, music videos and commercial promos, his filmography includes a trilogy of non-profit music documentary features: 'Iceland: Beyond Sigur Ros' (2010), 'Manchester: Beyond Oasis' (2012) and 'Liverpool: Beyond The Beatles' (2015). In turn, his award-winning zero budget debut feature film, 'Nobody Loves You and You Don't Deserve to Exist', was released to international acclaim in 2022, and can be described as a semi-autobiographical exploration of masculinity, morality, identity, social class and storytelling in the North of England.
