Brett Hanover (Director)

A product of the burgeoning Memphis independent film scene, Brett Hanover debuted in 2005 with the short “Above God,” winner of Best Documentary at both the Indie Memphis 	and Atlanta Underground film festivals. Produced in association with the Media Co-op, “Above God” followed the life of Gene Ray, an eccentric philosopher dealing with the unexpected effects of online fame. Another short film, the experimental “SCHIAVO,” was featured both at Indie Memphis and the 2006 Spun from the Web exhibition in Chicago. Hanover’s work typically focuses on individuals – subjects of uncommon and controversial character, presented not as curiosities but as lives deserving serious 	reflection. This is especially evident in the critically acclaimed performance “S4TYR PL4Y” 	(2006), which put issues of anthropomorphic identity on stage for the first time. Shortly 	after wrapping “S4TYR,” Hanover began work on his current project, the feature 	documentary “Bunnyland.”  During the nearly two year production, he has cultivated a 	straightforward aesthetic to help viewers empathize with his typically bizarre subjects. Brett Hanover currently lives in Chicago, where he studies film and video at the School of 	the Art Institute.
