Biography

Hello, I’m Bradley J. Dixon. I’m a writer, critic, film programmer, radio host and audio producer from Melbourne, Australia.

As a freelance critic, my writing on cinema and pop culture has been published in Bright Wall/Dark RoomJunkeeFilm Blerg and elsewhere.

I am a member of the Australian Film Critics Association and the committee of the Melbourne Cinémathèque, and have served on the feature film programming panels for the Melbourne International Film Festival and the Human Rights Arts & Film Festival (HRAFF). You can occasionally hear me hosting The Graveyard Shift or Room With a View on Melbourne’s 3RRR Radio.

I’m currently a PhD candidate in the School of Media and Communication at RMIT University, and a member of the Screen & Sound Cultures collaborative research group. My research focuses on persona and practice in comedy media.
