Brandon Cronenberg Parents: Meet David Cronenberg, Carolyn Zeifman

Canadian director and screenwriter Brandon Cronenberg was born on January 10, 1980. He is Caitlin Cronenberg’s brother and the son of David Cronenberg. His science fiction horror movies Infinity Pool (2012), Possessor (2020), and Antiviral (2012) are well renowned (2023). He has received numerous honors for his work.

Broken Tulips, a short film that Cronenberg directed in 2008, is about people who pay to be injected with viruses that were taken from famous people. According to Cronenberg, a previous viral outbreak was the inspiration for the movie. More specifically, according to journalist Jill Lawless, the “basic concept came to him in a fever dream during an episode of illness.” As he watched an interview Sarah Michelle Gellar gave on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, he was further inspired. He was particularly moved by the moment “she stated she was sick and if she sneezed she’d infect the whole crowd, and everyone just started clapping.”

The storyline for the short was an adaptation of one he was writing for his debut film, Antiviral. Hamilton, Ontario, and Toronto served as the locations for the main film’s principal photography.

At the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, Antiviral made its debut in the Un Certain Regard category. For the first time in the festival’s history, father and son Cronenberg and his father both presented films at that year’s Cannes Film Festival.
