ABOUT
My name, Ieuan (pronounced Yai-un, and starting with an "i"), is due to my Welsh background. My dad named me after the famous Welsh rugby player, Ieuan Evans, and put a bet on me to play internationally.
He was due a shock when I showed no interest in rugby, and ended up hanging around the drama department all the time!
I’m a freelance director and editor, specialising in fiction, documentary and commercial projects. My short films have been selected for BAFTA-qualifying festivals across the UK, and my commercial clients include brands like MyProtein, Mercedes, and Ralph Lauren.
I have an acting background, having performed in a range of media, from feature film Older Gods, to Mini TV series Escape Attempt. As such, I like to think I bring a multifaceted approach to my projects.
I'd love to hear from you.
