Aaron McLisky
Aaron McLisky’s got a knack for making stuff look seriously cool on screen. The guy’s built a wild reputation in the film world, bouncing between features, hit TV dramas, music videos, and ads—you name it, he’s probably shot it or at least made it look way better than it had any right to. He was the main eye behind the camera on 'Mr. Inbetween,' that gritty Aussie drama that kind of snuck up on everyone and ended up crushing it with critics. Blue Tongue Films, Jungle Entertainment, Foxtel, and FX all threw in on that one, and the AACTA folks showered it with nominations, which is no small thing.
But let’s be real, the big one everyone can’t stop talking about is 'Talk to Me.' That film had horror fans losing their minds and probably helped a few people develop a lifelong fear of séances. Directed by those wild Philippou brothers, Aaron’s work made the whole thing pop with this insane, jittery energy. It blew up at Sundance—A24 snapped up the North American rights before the credits finished rolling, and then it just kept going, popping up at SXSW and Berlin, raking in praise (and cash, honestly).
Now, Aaron’s back with the Philippous for 'Bring Her Back.' People are buzzing already, and it’s not even out till May 2025. You know it’ll be packed with those signature shots—creepy, stylish, and impossible to forget. Aaron’s not just shooting movies. He’s out here setting the vibe for a whole new wave of genre films, and honestly, it’s about time his name got shouted from the rooftops.
