Perhaps best known for penning the multi-award winning Elijah Wood and Charlie Hunnam led feature Green Street, the former Royal Air Force serviceman's literary career began in 1996 when he wrote a book based on his own experiences as a soccer casual entitled, Everywhere We Go. The book examined the culture of football and football hooliganism from the inside and became an instant smash.
A further 16 books have followed and their success has established him as not only one of the UK's most prolific authors but a leading authority on the issue of lad culture. Whilst his novel The Crew continues to top the soccer download chart on both Amazon and iTunes over 11 years since it's initial release in 2000, Brimson is becoming increasingly known for his comedy writing and has tackled various subjects ranging from men and romance to males and their love affair with soccer.

Following its release in September 2005, the film won numerous awards including: Narrative Jury Prize - SXSW Film Festival Narrative Feature Audience - SXSW Film Festival Best of Fes

(Note from Screenwriting Staffing Founder, Jacob N. Stuart) With Oscar season just ending, the conversation about discrimination within Hollywood is still being argued and debated. MOST of the backlash focuses on the stigma that there is still discrimination against African American actors and women directors.

It’s a conversation that’s NOT talked about nearly enough. I’m often asked by “newer” middle-aged writers at Screenwriting Staffing what their chances are of breaking into the industry and what hurdles they will have to face. But since I still fall short of the 30-year-old mark, I feel that any advice I would give wouldn’t be all that useful.
So I caught up with Dougie Brimson. Dougie is a multi-published, best-selling author, and increasingly sought after screenwriter, best known for penning the highly popular, award-winning Green Street Hooligans (starring Elijah Wood). Dougie Brimson is one of the UK’s most prolific writers.
SCREENWRITING STAFFING: OK – let’s get personal. How old were you when you first started writing? Then how old were you
