James Khehtie, Director & Producer
The Telegram Man
James F. Khehtie has directed and produced several short films. He has also worked on a number of feature films, including Bruce Beresford’s MAO’S LAST DANCER, LITTLE FISH with Academy Awards winner Cate Blanchett and LAST LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE with Cannes-winning cinematographer Christopher Doyle HKSC.
James is committed to directing his first feature film in the near future and sees the epic nature of his latest directorial piece THE TELEGRAM MAN as a natural progression to that end. THE TELEGRAM MAN has been adapted from a short story by John Boyne, the award-winning author of THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS, who has given his full support for the film and serves as the Executive Producer.
James has surrounded himself with acclaimed Australian film identities, including Academy Awards-nominated director Bruce Beresford (DRIVING MISS DAISY) and Academy Awards-winning cinematographer Russell Boyd ASC ACS (MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD), as well as veteran producers Anthony Buckley (WAKE IN FRIGHT) and Antonia Barnard (THE QUIET AMERICAN), all of whom have thrown their considerable weight behind THE TELEGRAM MAN and James’s directing career.
