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 & BIFA qualifying festivals like the LONDON SHORT FILM FESTIVAL & AESTHETICA, and my commercial clients include brands like MYPROTEIN, MERCEDES, and RALPH LAUREN.
​
I'd love to hear from you. ​
