Shane Abbess Adult Workshop BIO
Filmmaker Shane Abbess launched onto the world stage with his debut fantasy feature, Gabriel, which went on to become one of Australia’s most commercially successful independent films of all time.
Signed to prestigious talent agency, William Morris Endeavor (WME) Shane bought the sci-fi thriller ‘Infini’ back to Australia so he could push a more ‘experimental’ approach that resulted in a bonafide cult hit worldwide, even landing #1 at the Box Office throughout much of Asia.
Following the success of Infini, Shane went straight into production on the wildly ambitious ‘Science Fiction Volume One : The Osiris Child.’ Distributed by Lionsgate and Amazon, Osiris would launch young newcomer Teagan Croft on to the world stage and continue Shane’s run as a filmmaker who takes risks and reaches audiences well beyond the home crowd.
In the years that followed, Shane travelled the world speaking with practitioners and workshopping Performances in New York, Los Angeles and Sydney as well as working with several of the top streamers on their TV series that needed more creatively in the areas of performance.
Currently, Shane has the highly anticipated FDNY Documentary series ‘Black Sunday’ due later this year, is in prep on ‘ Beast in Me’ with Russell Crowe and Daniel Macpherson as well as the indie sci-fi thriller ‘Deek.’
