Brady Corbet is one of the most exciting, independent talents of his generation. His first appearance to attract notable attention was in Gregg Araki’s child sex abuse drama Mysterious Skin (2004), filmed when Corbet was only 15 years old.

At the age of 20, Corbet wrote and directed the short film “Protect You + Me”, a raw, unflinching, existential portrait of anger.
