About me
Christopher Bevan is an award winning and Royal Television Society nominated filmmaker who has worked on a wide range of films including features, shorts, commercials and promos and documentaries. He has gained a wealth of experience over ten years of film making across the UK, with his films being screened at festivals both in the UK and abroad. Christopher directed the award winning short Caught in the Headlights (2012), which picked up the best picture and audience awards at the Transitions Derby Showcase. After graduating with a BA Hons 1st Class in Film & Video Production, he completed work on the pilot episode of the comedy sitcom Jobseekers in the summer of 2013, followed by short Love & Other Chairs (2014), which received Grand Prix at the In Short Film Festival along with several nominations and selections on the festival circuit. His 2015 commercial for Mackney Photography's 'POP' series of superhero themed children's portraits was nominated by the Royal Television Society Midlands Awards in 2016 for Best Promotional Programme.Christopher's narrative short film work has continued with post-apocalyptic short Hollow Men (2016) and sci-fi short Transcended (2016) launched online in early 2016 and he is actively developing a slate of feature and short films, most recently completing Make Do Or Mend (2018), an entry for the Sci-Fi London 48 Hour Film Challenge. Currently in production is The Other (2019), his latest collaboration with producer Belinda Basson of Dreamfusion Productions. A short, ambitious thriller written by Ben Errington and starring Adam Horvath, the film is due for release in 2019.
Past clients he has directed commercial work for include Network Rail and The Samaritans, and the short drama he was commissioned to direct called Signals (2014) was nominated for Best Fictional Television Programme at the RTS Midlands Awards in 2015. Much of his additional work has focused on social issues and charitable causes, directing documentaries for Derby QUAD’s Shine A Light scheme, Breast Cancer Research and the St. George’s Knights power chair football team. In early 2017 he completed work on a comissioned documentary for Junction Arts, a participatory arts organisation based in Derbyshire celebrating it's 40th anniversary. The film was nominated for Factual Programme of the Year at the RTS Midlands Awards 2017. It was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and backed by local council authorities and Arts Council England, and toured around Derbyshire at special events throughout the spring and summer of 2017.
In 2015 Christopher was selected by Creative England to participate in their Talent Modules run in conjunction with Flatpack in Birmingham for up-and-coming Midlands-based filmmakers. His past work has also earned him recognition from the BFI-supported National Youth Film Academy, which as a director invited him to become a member of this prestigious organisation. He has successfully crowd funded two short films on IndieGoGo over the past few years, bringing in over 100% of the target on both campaigns and building the support base for YSP Media in the process.
Christopher has also spent time working as an assistant director on shorts and features, most notably taking on the role of 2nd AD on Still (2015) directed by Simon Blake and starring Aidan Gillen (Game of Thrones) and Elodie Yung (Daredevil). These roles involved working at the core of the production team and closely with the directing team, providing him with a keen insight into the inner workings of an independent feature production and arming him with the knowledge to ably tackle his own feature film as director.
