Writer/director Geoffrey Wright specializes in making tough, gritty features with a hard and unflinching edge to them. He was born in 1959 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Geoffrey graduated from the Swinburne Film and Television School with a Diploma of Arts in Film and Television. Wright worked as a movie critic for both the "Melbourne Age" and Radio 3AW prior to making his feature debut with the poignant short drama "Lover Boy." "Lover Boy" won awards for Best Australian Short Film at both the Sydney and Melbourne Film Festivals. Geoffrey caused quite a stir with the powerful and controversial "Romper Stomper," which received mixed reviews, but was a substantial box office hit. "Romper Stomper" won a handful of awards and Wright was even nominated for an AFI Award for Best Director. He followed "Romper Stomper" with the equally strong and startling "Metal Skin." Geoffrey Wright has subsequently directed an episode of the TV series "Naked: Stories of Men," the inspired tongue-in-cheek teen horror slasher romp "Cherry Falls" (Geoffrey won the Best Director Award at the Sitges - Catalonian International Film Festival for this particular picture), and the contemporary Shakespeare revamp "Macbeth."
