In Prison My Whole Life

Marc Evans is a Welsh-born film director, whose credits include the films House of America, Resurrection Man and My Little Eye. Evans was born in 1963 in Carmarthen, Wales. He studied for a history of art degree at the University of Cambridge, and then took a year out before taking a one-year... course in film at the University of Bristol, where his contemporaries included Michael Winterbottom. Evans worked as a runner for a commercials company in London, before beginning directing on TV dramas, starting out with Welsh-medium productions for S4C, and latterly including episodes of The Ruth Rendell Mysteries. He then transferred to film, with 1997's House of America about a young Welsh immigrant to the United States who falls foul of the American dream. In 1998 came controversy with Resurrection Man, a thriller set amid sectarian violence in Northern Ireland. His first box office hit was the Big Brother-inspired horror film My Little Eye. In 2004 he directed Trauma starring Colin Firth, Mena Suvari and Brenda Fricker, written by Richard Smith, which reprised the darker elements of My Little Eye via a chilling psychological study of amnesia and despair.
