Denis Whitburn (born 13 September 1944) is an Australian film writer and producer. He was a copywriter and journalist who moved into screenwriting and theatre.
Whitburn often worked with Phil Avalon who wrote: <blockquote>Denis is a real character. Stocky-build, bearded with a scattergun approach to life. Cigar hanging out of his mouth, think Orson Welles Oz version. I loved Denisâ writing style, he had this âÂÂTarantinoâ way with dialogue, it was kooky, cool, he needed a good director to be on the same page.</blockquote>
