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 work as a freelance director & editor, focusing on both narrative and commercial projects.
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 bring to my projects an understanding of how it feels to be in front of the camera.
I'd love to hear from you.
