Pennan Brae is a screenwriter based in Vancouver, BC. His screenplay for 'The Astronot' received accolades at 25 film festivals on the 2018/19 film festival circuit. '2 Below 0' is his current release.
Writing '2 Below 0' was a blast. After several drafts & discussions with director Tim Cash, the pieces seemed to fall together. I always wanted to write something set in winter due to the sheer beauty & challenge with the elements. It was an enjoyable pursuit.
