Denis Whitburn
Denis Whitburn is an Australian film writer and producer. He was a copywriter and journalist who moved into screenwriting and theatre.
Whitburn often worked with Phil Avalon who wrote:
Denis is a real character. Stocky-build, bearded with a scattergun approach to life. Cigar hanging out of his mouth, think Orson Welles Oz version. I loved Denis’ writing style, he had this ‘Tarantino’ way with dialogue, it was kooky, cool, he needed a good director to be on the same page.
