74: Caden Pearson (Emerging star writer and director)

Caden is an early-career Indigenous screenwriter, director, and producer from Cairns in Far North Queensland, Australia. He proudly got his start writing for The Epoch Times Australia during the Beijing Olympics in 2008. In his current lifetime his family is from the Bagarrmugu and Kuku Yalanji clans from Far North Queensland, with Scottish, French and Irish heritage as well.

In 2020, Caden produced, wrote, and directed a half-hour documentary in association with Australian public broadcaster NITV.

I bumped into Caden at Content London last year and was lucky to get to know this talented emerging screenwriter with an incredible story to tell.
