Director Biography - Craig D. Foster

Craig is a self-made filmmaker who started out shooting nerdy sketch comedy shorts at university. In 2011 Craig self-funded, wrote and directed the multi-award winning short family drama Parrot. Two years later Craig’s short action screenplay Trunk, developed with writer/brother Derek Foster, received the Australian Writer’s Guild Monte Miller Award – for Best Unproduced Screenplay. That same year Craig also produced the highly successful LGBT web series Love Bytes; which has accumulated over 6 million views on YouTube. In 2014 Craig executive produced and guest directed Justice Lease Season 2: Dorm of Justice, the follow-up season to the award-winning web series Justice Lease. Season 2 was released on YouTube at the beginning of 2016.

Craig began work on Overtime in 2015. The horror/comedy concept was inspired by films such as Shaun of the Dead and Drag me to Hell. Overtime was shot and completed with the assistance of Screen Australia’s Raw Nerve program. In May 2016, Overtime had the honour of opening the St Kilda Film Festival in Victoria for its world premiere to an audience of 3000 people.

Craig lives in Sydney’s Inner West with wife and creative partner Emma McKenna.
