Profile

Biography

Bevan started out shooting 鈥榖ehind the scenes鈥 material on feature films and made the leap to directing fiction with the short film, Mumbo Jumbo, starring Andrew Garfield, Tom Brooke and Javone Prince. His follow up, Love Does Grow on Trees, was nominated for a British Independent Film Award and singled out for praise by Danny Boyle at the ceremony. It premiered in the US at the Tribeca Film Festival, where it was named one of New York Magazine鈥檚 鈥淭op Five Shorts at Tribeca鈥 and then went on to win numerous accolades at festivals internationally. The film received 40,000 views in it鈥檚 first week online and was staff picked by Vimeo. His third short, First the Worst, premiered at Tribeca, and has since screened at the Seoul International Short Film Festival, Buster International Children鈥檚 Film Festival in Copenhagen, and Gold Coast International Film Festival in New York. He was featured in an Arena Magazine profile of 鈥渢he next generation of filmmakers鈥, one of 25 filmmakers selected for the London Film Festival 鈥楾hink-Shoot-Distribute鈥 programme for emerging talent, and also part of 鈥楾riangle鈥, the British Film Institute / Screen Yorkshire feature film development programme. He is currently developing feature film projects that continue his investigation into identity, sexuality and masculinity, and can also be found teaching filmmaking and occasionally directing commercials, but please don't hold that against him.
