Brendan Lee
Brendan was born and raised in Woodside, Queens. After 11 years as a firefighter with the FDNY, Brendan went back to school to pursue his dream of becoming a filmmaker. Graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Film from Hunter College, he began writing and making short films using the “greatest backlot in the world”…the streets of New York. His first short film, BREATHE, was an official selection to the 8th Annual Queens World Film Festival. His first feature, THE CLADDAGH, is now available on Prime Video. Brendan is now a screenwriter/filmmaker based in Woodside. When not making films he coaches his daughter’s CYO basketball and softball teams.
