Grant Hardie

Grant has over three decades in the Australian industry, and in that time has been instrumental in shaping horror and genre cinema in this part of the world. In 2010, he co-founded Monster Pictures, now ANZ’s leading distributor dedicated solely to horror and genre films and in 2011, he launched Monster Fest, which has grown into Australia’s flagship horror and genre film festival. Grant has built Monster into a trusted brand that speaks directly to fans, filmmakers, and the market.

With Monster Pictures Studios, he takes that foundation into production, using the brand to get standout, audience-first horror films made. Grounded, strategic, and fiercely passionate, Grant is focused on building the next generation of Australian horror cinema from the ground up.
