Marc Evans is a Welsh-born film director, whose credits include the films House of America, Resurrection Man and My Little Eye. He recently directed Trauma starring Colin Firth and Mena Suvari, written by Richard Smith; it reprised the darker elements of My Little Eye via a chilling psychologial study of amnesia and despair. His later films mark a shift from an exploration of the relationships between national identity and myth to an innovative reworking of the horror genre in the critically acclaimed My Little Eye, which tapped into the zeitgeist via its embedded critique of the extremities of reality tv and the internet.
Evans' latest film Snow Cake, starring Sigourney Weaver and Alan Rickman, was released on 8 September 2006 in the United Kingdom.
Evans, in an interview at Cineworld Cinema in Cardiff, declared that he is working on a musical set in 1976 Swansea, with Catherine Zeta-Jones attached, whilst still trying to get a Dylan Thomas biopic into production.
