Bryan M. Ferguson is a self-taught writer/director and photographer from Glasgow, Scotland. Labelled a “natural descendant of the Cinema of Transgression”, his work is visceral. Paradoxically beautiful and disturbing - a juxtaposition of the uncanny and the surreal. His short films have been screened at Academy Award and BAFTA qualifying festivals all over the world and have gained recognition and exposure on Dazed, Channel 4's Random Acts, BBC iPlayer, Arrow Video, Alter and televised on Adult Swim and Film 4. Several retrospectives of his short film and music video work have been held at various festivals and events, most recently at the London Short Film Festival 2021 and separate events across two cities held by The Skinny Magazine.
Ferguson’s most recent short film, Red Room, was selected for a three month nationwide theatrical run in 2021 as part of the British Film Institute’s In Dreams Are Monsters season after playing in competition at Encounters Film Festival.
Ferguson has gained success working as an independent music video director and has directed award nominated videos for established international artists such as Garbage, Alice Glass, Ladytron, Boy Harsher, Arab Strap, The Soft Moon, Låpsley, Sega Bodega and Ross From Friends.
His latest feature project, Funeral Home was selected by the BFI Network / Short Circuit First Features scheme and his other project, a feature length version of his 2013 short, The Misbehaviour of Polly Paper Cut, is currently in early development with the producers of 2021’s BIFA nominated film Censor.
